The chief to be

This picture shows the proud son of the Masai Chief of the village; he has got two wives and 7 children. The wives build the house together with the rest of the women in the village and it took them 2 weeks to complete the work. Their beds are very simple and not quite comfortable, but the hut protects them from the rain and also from the heat. The chief to be is very proud of his family and looking happily into the future.
