Galaha: A Photo Gallery
In the early morning, I also enjoyed watching our neighbors—the Afar villagers just outside the staff compound—rising to greet the day. They lived in daboytas, domed huts made of interlaced sticks covered with straw mats. The Afar would begin the day with morning prayers and then get their cooking fires started. The young children would be up very early, running around and playing. And some of the older kids—maybe five or six years old—would be tending to their goats and getting ready to take them out grazing for the day.
