Tonight, starts a new type of post. I thought it would be interesting to compare peoples homes and living conditions from different countries. I shall hope to keep this updated on a regular bases with new pictures. The first pic will go to Sudan! Since is a place where I have spent my first 8 month on this mission's job, it was needed to honor it! In sudan, these houses are called "Tukels", they are built of dried mud and dried grass/weat? they aren't water proof, and very vulnerable to fire! Inside, you usualy find the most modest furnishement with one/two bed(s) (usualy made of colorful strings) , a large pot , and that is pretty much it! the surrounding is for most made of a little perimeter, in which you might find more beds, a donkey, kids, or plastic bags in a lots of cases! Plastic bags, at least in Darfur states are given with almost anything you may buy. They are extremely thin, and fragile. Unfortunately, also very light, as a result, since litters are not available anywhere, the streets and villages usualy hold a huge population of the plastic bags which migrates along with the wind and eventualy die on one of these houses perimeter.... The "tucool" is a rather popular house, but it may be unaccessible to some who then live under 4 wooden sticks and a roof of dried herbs/grass!
Voila, see you next time for an other house of the world.
