the arabic word for house is "tukul." our compound is made up of a cluster of tukuls. most tukuls around mundri are made of mud walls and thatch roof. these, however, are made of concrete with a tin roof for durability. they even have built in concrete shelving. the screen windows circle around the tukul allowing a nice breeze to come through. i am staying in larissa and christine's tukul, which they loving named "the shire" as it looks like it belongs to hobbits. i sleep in their living area, tucked away underneath a mosquito net.
this is the team house and the kitchen, where we meet, have worship, and prepare fabulous meals.
So this is your bed? How neat to see inside where you stay! Do you get alot of mosquitos at night in there? I know you can sleep anywhere like me.. but this actually looks comfortable. Thanks for pics.. I'm enjoying them!
