Description

A distant view of a line of women with pots on their heads, returning from drawing water near Unyolo Village, Alego Location. The long neck water jar (dapi) is seen carried on the head by each woman. The water hole or pond (yawo) is probably in the thick pocket of vegetation behind them as they head towards the village or homestead. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004]
