Through trying times their extended families remain intact and involved with one another in love and commitment. Their tribal ties provide a sustaining community. Although they have few possessions, they are rich in traditions, values, and belief in a spiritual presence. They are grateful for appreciation or happy occasions. They readily adopt children whose parents have died though they often struggle to feed their own. No one is left out.

Please meet a few of these beautiful women who roll beads or gather shea nuts
and read their stories.
