Today is my first day in Lodonguoke. My night was ok. At the beginning I couldn\u2019t sleep well because the bathroom has a window but not glass so and I was afraid an animal would get in even if I closed the bathroom door. But, later, I was too tired and fell asleep.<\/p>\n

In the morning I went with Serge, a priest from the Ivory Coast and Jeen, one of Lodonguoke leaders to Lolua. Lolua is a small community 1 hour away on foot from Lodonguoke. Yes!! Walking on a hot day and it isn\u2019t an easy road (picture). This is a dessert: the soil is red and it has a lot of up and downs. (picture). For me, it wasn\u2019t an easy walk. Most of the time Serge and Jeen walked ahead so they had to wait for me. Of course, they have more practice. A few times I had to ask for some help getting down small hills.\u00a0 After this long journey, we finally arrived to Lolua. We had to wait because the women were bringing some water. While waiting, I took Ntua (the puppet) and I played with the children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the 6 women arrived and father Serge celebrate the mass (see video women singing). The topic of the service today was a question: \u201cwhat happens after we die?\u201d The service was very interactive. The women spoke about the various traditions of burying the dead in the Samburu culture. A man who is married and has children is buried in the lot where the rest of the family lives. In the past, a man who died single was thrown out to the hyenas. But, now his family buries him outside of were they live. For the Samburu, a man who doesn\u2019t have family is not going to be remembered by anybody.<\/p>\n
