A village in Zimbabwe The landscape looks brown because it is the dry, winter season, although it is July -- we are in the Southern Hemisphere! Mr. Johnson show us around the village for which he is the "headman." The village has only one well for about 50 households, each with from 5 to 10 persons. Some families have vegetable gardens next to the well. Mud bricks are made immediately next to the village where they are used for the walls of houses, historically round but today more commonly rectangular. Family compounds are fenced off as are the livestock kraals. Also visit a school.
