Back in time


I’m really mind blown at how time could have seemed to stand still around here in terms of development. I still remember my Sub B (year 2) class where we drew pictures of the development of housing over the ages. One of the very early phases of housing was mud houses. These should have been imitations in museums by now, but here, a vast number of people have no alternative. Many houses are really just a construction of wooden poles with a mud filling as walls. Although clay brick houses are more common, mud houses are still a reality with the really poor households.
