Description

Luo girls with baskets and a man in colonial-style dress (except for the hat) at Gangu Village. The girls seem to be young and unmarried. The man is probably not in a colonial administration job as he wears a normal hat (not a helmet) and his uniform is torn. He may had just have bought or been given these items of dress. The village is in the background. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004]
