NYABONDO IN JUNE

June 6, 2013
On the sixth we made our monthly trip to Nyabondo
and had a good meeting with the people there.
 As we pulled into the compound where the
FHE meetings are held we saw this cart
loaded with wood.
 This is enough wood to heat the "mud kiln"
to fire about 350 bricks -
enough to build a two room "home".
Dennis and Bathseba
Some of the sisters

This cute couple has been married for 53 years.
 
 A sister with a load on her back - a brother!!
Cute brothers
with the men at the luncheon
Delicious food is always served
Baby chicks are cared for under the basket.
I love the border of the walkway by the trees.
As we left the area of the meeting we took a
different road to see what else is close by....
Often we see children and others carrying water
from the water puddles of streams to their homes.
Carrying things-water jugs-on the head begins very young...

Over looking the valley below the cliffs of Nyabondo

Fish out to dry.
As far as we know there is not fishing waters near here 
so where are the fish coming from.
Wherever we are there laundry is done
and dried in some way.
Making gravel from larger rocks by -
hitting them with a hammer.
The picture does not do justice to the beauty
of the valley below.
 Driving down the mountain side.
We drove into Sondu - these shops -
the took another road west that soon joined with
the Nairobi Road into Kisumu.
Roadwork as they move the presser to another area
as they were patching some potholes.
Bananas for sale at the side of the road .
 Beautiful scenery.

Many rolling hills and green everywhere!!
The rice fields we have seen grow as we pass here
 each month.
Any water becomes a good place for a
car - truck washing business.
Here off to the side a tanker truck
is taking advantage of a water puddle and
someone in the car washing business.
