Cattle eat the cassava leaves.

A new well is being dig for the community near the shamba - the community dug the first 10 feet, then the authorities adopted it.

Agostino things the trees, the thinnings will be planted elsewhere, there is no waste.

My turn.

The boys distribute the cuttings.

Kennedy shows me which way up to plant the cutting.

Lucy caught Virginia Ndunge smiling.

At maggy's for lunch, the steam and smoke ooze from the thatched kitchen.
