Note for the folks at home: Pastoralism is a common practice (and profession) across rural Kenya. Cattle ("ng'ombe"), sheep ("kondoo"), and goats ("mbuzi") are common throughout the country, with camels ("ngamia") being an additional choice of livestock in the more arid regions. Herded animals are raised for their milk and meat, but it should be noted that they are also an indicator of a person's social standing. "A truly rich man," I've been told, "drives a train of goats one hundred metres long." This norm, however, has its drawbacks: herders are often loath to slaughter any of their precious beasts, considering the food source not worth the loss in socioeconomic appearance.
Note for the folks who have seen me draw a camel before: I'm gettin' better, eh? At least this one doesn't look like a llama.
