Okadas


The okada drivers. There are many, many young men who are motorbike taxi drivers around Makeni. I've been told that the government had a campaign for rebel fighters to trade weapons for motorbikes after the war. The okada drivers are great and this is how we get around the city.

Around Makeni




(1) the old cinema building.... I'm not sure what they use this building for now, I don't think they show films
(2) Rabia at the barbing saloon. I think I'm going to grow my hair;-)

Around Makeni


Rabia, another VSO volunteer, and Mohamed. A lot of people who are affected by polio have wooden wheelchairs that they propel with their hands.
