Hut, Sweet Hut Part 4


This, I'm guessing, is Liz's yard. A little lean-to for shade, and in the foreground an outdoor sleeping platform. You can she the old, falling down fence that used to surround the compound. Not only didn't it provide any privacy, but it didn't even keep the animals out. One morning Liz was awoken at about 6 am by a cow who was butting that wooden platform with it's head. Liz finally gave the headman an ultimatum--fix my fence, or I'm leaving. He fixed the fence.

Through this classy archway you can Liz's bedroom (for those nights when it is raining, or cool enough to sleep indoors--i.e., almost never). You can see her deluxe chair to the right, and a cot next to it. Those hooks are about as close as she's getting to a closet.

This is Liz's dad posting. We finally got some pictures from her on a DVD that another volunteer created. I'm just guessing at what they are, and I'm sure she will correct me if I am wrong.

This one appears to be of her luxurious mud hut--the front door (curtain), window, her storage area (the chest on the floor), and some of the scrawny cats she has taken in.

To the right is the kitchen area, and I'm guessing those clay jugs are what substitutes for running water.
