Out of Africa - Meeting the Community Photos


Photos here include an elder in the community addressing the crowd of over 300 assembled to meet us at the school and the teens and women dancing in the native attire. You can see the presidential representative sitting with us. He is the second from the right. The man with glasses is Simon Ole Masi whom I have been writing so much about. Above him look in the trees at folks climbing so they can see! The last photo is of the Kisipgi man we visited. He is HIV positive and is one of only 5 folks in the 50,000 in the area who are living positively and publicly with HIV. He lives in the hut behind with his 14 children and grandchildren hoping to live long enough so one of the males will be 18 years of age so they can to inherit his land.
