Chilling out at my adopted Kenya families place
taking chai and then picking coffee. A lesson in how to know when they are

In this photo the green ones are not ready, the red ones are
great. The white beans are what appears when you remove the soft outer. These
are then dried before roasting. Check out my "1st June" Blog for the full process of
hand making coffee from the tree to the cup. I have added these photos to that blog give
the complete process.
This photo is an example of daily life in a typical
homestead in rural Central Province. This is 13 year old Anne doing the washing
outside in the mud. Using about 4 buckets to soak, wash, rinse 1 and rinse 2.
All water has to be collected in 20 litre jerry cans from the river 500m way. Washing
occurs most days and requires around 4-5 jerry cans for each wash for each
family. In addition water needs to be collected for cooking and washing. Just
imagine back home no water from the tap and no electricity…. Just imagine……
