Being Fulani

Here are a few glimpses into the life of the Fulani...


This is a wowru - in English it would be a mortar and pestal (sp?). We call it a "pounder." They use these to pound their grains until they are a powder form. After that they use it to make nyiiri - a type of food they eat, or chewtam - a millet-water drink they have.





The second picture is of me after some of the children in my village decided to braid my hair for me.

And the last picture is a picture of some tumbude - bowls made out of gourds. The Fulani women use them to store their kosam (milk) and chewtam.
