Choose the house that you would like to move into!
Washing is done by hand in buckets of water, and then the laundry is hung out to dry. The good thing is that in the dry season in Tanzania, laundry dries quickly.
In the next photo, on the right there is a partial wall of a house. Because the bricks are made of mud, and some of the bricks are not fired, they do not last for very many years. When the house starts deteriorating and leaking, the people just move out and build another house close by.
Notice that the ground immediately around the houses is swept clean.
The next photo shows two houses that are very close to the church building.
More than likely the fabric on the ground had been spread out on the ground and used for drying rice.
The following building is a "kitchen". It has a "chimney" for the smoke to escape. Notice the cooking pots on the ground. Wouldn't it be fun cooking in one like this on a hot summer Texas day?
Many people keep chickens, mostly for the eggs they provide. Chickens are too precious to eat them very often.
The following photo is a little fuzzy, but it shows two people walking down the road. Evidently the man is going to work in his garden. Take a close look at his hoe. Maybe his wife is going to gather food?
The truck ahead of us is filled with bags of rice. We were in Tanzania during the time of rice harvest.
