The gate keeper

My videographer John Nonog and I were on assignment in the Ningyang village in northern Kenya. The U.S. military was conducting a humanitarian mission there, basically they were helping the local community with water wells, rebuilding the school house, teaching how to sanitize the water and providing medical supplies and personnel during a Medical Civic Action Program or MEDCAP.

These three women, elders in the Turkana tribe, watched over the rest of the patients until it was their turn to see a doctor.
