Sudan

Inside this is a luxury home for a nomad family

The only young boy we saw in camp during the visit.

It is not uncommon for a husband to have several wives and children from each wive all living together.

Another living area of the camp

The inside. Imagine the wind and sand constantly blowing with extreme heat, no bathroom facilities anywhere in sight.

Beautiful young woman

Outside of what we have been looking into

The opposite end of the stick mud home.

The average life span is in the early 50&#039;s. She has lived among generations of this family. Countless wives of family members.

The toll of living in this forboding land is shown in the lines on her face.

Marriages are arranged marriage usually with first cousins.

Young girl. We saw no men in camp during the day time hours. They were out with livestock

After driving another hour we came across another family of women and children. I am sure some of the wives were with one husbad.

Notice the beauty marks tattooed on each side of the face.
