But the only map I had before going to Nakwamoru was this, done by Mike Cunningham …somehow I managed to travel the 450 miles and arrive safely…

Nakwamoru is a dry, dusty and sparsely laid out village.
![Page 5: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
It’s extremely hot for locals and visitors alike
![Page 6: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The plants are hostile…
![Page 7: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
And the toilet facilities for guests are very basic
![Page 8: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The locals live in grass and mud huts
![Page 9: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
And there are sometimes armed bandits prowling about looking for cattle
![Page 10: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
After arriving, I rested and slept off the journey of getting there
![Page 11: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The next morning the locals were outside talking,
they had heard a visitor was coming to town
![Page 12: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
They were very curious and lots of people turned out to have a good look at me…
![Page 13: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
At first, I wasn’t sure if Europeans were welcome…
![Page 14: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It was a complete mistake, I was made feel completely at home and a friend to all
![Page 15: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
I took my time to walk around the village and witness the local life
![Page 16: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Here men would sleep anywhere they wanted, often on the ground
![Page 17: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
I was shown inside the school...
![Page 18: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
...the health unit…
![Page 19: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
…and the church
![Page 20: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
I met the men in all their regalia
![Page 21: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
And the women in all theirs, these ladies insisted I pay them for taking this picture
![Page 22: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The village was helpless without the river and irrigation
![Page 23: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
But with it everyone kept busy to grow maize, the main crop of the area
![Page 24: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Despite this, there is still a shortage of food. Each family gets donations of 9kg a month
![Page 25: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
All meals are a basic porridge called ugale
![Page 26: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The labour in the village is still entirely manual
![Page 27: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
To travel anywhere one has to either walk or cycle
![Page 28: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
And to get to the nearest town, one has to walk across the nearby Turkwell river
![Page 29: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The health unit didn’t have enough beds for all its patients
![Page 30: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Some children were very effected by this trauma
![Page 31: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Amidst all this drama, life went on…
![Page 32: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
When not demonstrating ridiculous poses for my camera
![Page 33: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The boys had a little game to catch birds
![Page 34: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The waited patiently while it walked around and followed its nose…
![Page 35: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
…to the food inside the trap. The bird wasn’t alive for long after this happened
![Page 36: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The locals certainly knew how to sing and celebrate
![Page 37: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
And on my last night in Nakwamoru they all danced together in the dark
![Page 38: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
There was just about enough time for tea in the tea hut…
![Page 39: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Before I hit the road home to tell the story of all I’d seen
![Page 40: An Outside View of Inside Nakwamoru](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812a5e550346895d8dcb50/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The End
