Typical Scenes
The photos are typical of the scenes near to Zakayo's house. Next door they ploughed using oxen. Simon Peter with me is a local child who followed us for a long way - all he wanted was a ride on the bike....he couldn't ride so he just sat on - you should have seen the delight on his face. He is a frequent visitor to the shamba. From the house you can see Mt Kenya.
Yvonne with 100 ltr empty water container
Typical of the scenery on the way to the shamba.
I am taking the empty container to fill with water at the batch. Colin has ordered more wood for the building so the full container will come back in the vehicle.
The Zakayo family home
The building in the foreground is the kitchen, the main living sleeping part of the home stands behind.
The kitchen is always a seperate building, the reason being it contains a fire.
The house consist of a wooded frame with rough sawn planks nailed on the outside. The inside is then lined with old newspapers to reduce the draught blowing through the cracks between the boards.
