Circumcision

I could call this post “Circumcision” or I could call it “Why I Avoid Being at my House at Matunda in August of Every Even-Numbered Year”.

The Bukusu clan of the Luhya tribe (which heavily populates the Matunda area) still practices a traditional method of circumcising their boys. They do so every August of even-numbered years.

In the process, they make a LOT of noise at night. It disrupts my sleep to say the least.

These men are drinking a home-made alcoholic brew. Notice the boy in the back of the group. He is the one to be circumcised. The men are his uncles.
