A
village meeting in progress. Women have an active
role to play. |
|
| Keeping
a record of what has been discussed at the meeting. |
 |
|
 |
Bullocks
are more dependable that tractors. |
|
| Using
solar enery to dry grains. |
 |
|
 |
Learning
the art of preparing grains from mom. |
|
| Dad
pitches in by grinding the grains. |
 |
|
 |
Wood
fire adds to the flavour of food. So does some
chopped onions. |
|
| If
you need more spice, you can grind it on a flat
stone. |
 |
|
 |
Making
rope from hay when the sun is shining. |
|
| Washing
dirty linen in public is quite acceptable. |
 |
|
 |
Spring
water is the sweetest and perhaps the cleanest. |
|
| No
taps here. Water has to be fetched on the head. |
 |
|
 |
House
repair is simple. Get some earth from the courtyard
and level it in the process. |
|
| And
if you have daughters, they will be more than
willing to help. |
 |
|
 |
Tamping
the floor with their hands. |
|
| While
dad and brothers build the walls of the house. |
 |
|
 |
A
few drops of anti-polio medicine will protect
this child for life. |
