Tarani Village Meeting Tree -2005


Myself with Chacha and some of the other village leaders at the meeting tree. Mkutano is Swahili for the "meeting" and it takes place under this tree where matters of the village are discussed in the shade. It generally goes on for hours and everyone gets to have a say. All matters are consensus and hours and hours are required. When everyone starts to get hungry and thirsty or has to pee, the meeting gets wrapped up. After 35 years, the village still needs a dispensary for medicine. Anyone want to go over with me and camp here in the village and put one up? You would never regret the experience, do good and have a blast! All they really need is a good supply of malaria medicine and a few antibiotics, all of which can be sold over the counter. Post me at mailto:kdbrunk@juno.com We could throw in a trip to the Serengeti.
