g'morning scoot- the digital makes a big, big difference in the quality of the photos. i'm glad to see he figured out how to send them <g>. that 'home' sure looks rough. i guess it's typical, huh. at first i thought they were pictures of a village without water, compared to a village with water, but then i noticed it was the same village. was this the first well that was dug? the kids at the chicken village well is a super picture - very nice to see. rose edit: i notice too that if you post them on pbase, they show much better than they do on ofoto.

Scooter Pants, Those pictures are great. More than a thousand words each. It looks like the villagers set some crops or vegetable garden right there near the water source. pbase.com I wonder what it is that they are growing. I suppose it is winter time there. The kids are dressed rather warmly and the fire places look to be in use indoors. What do these people do to earn income. It doesn't look like they do much more than maybe farm. Are they allowed to work? A country like that should be able to provide some sort of inexpensive manufacturing at least. Give 'em at least some means to improve their living conditions. Sure is sad to see. At least your wells are making some sort of difference for them. -Clapper
