My sister Riya and I met the Man of the Trees last year when we were visiting
our uncle Jita. Those were difficult times. People were cutting down our forest,
and there was often flooding that caused our land to erode. Sometimes
our water supply was dirty. When our pump did have clean water, one of us had
to stand in line for ages to fill up the containers for cooking and bathing. When
the pump wasn’t working, we had to walk more than five kilometers to the
closest stream.
But Riya and I were happy. It was the summer, and we were going to see our
favorite uncle. Uncle Jita was a photographer. He always carried his camera and
took pictures of many things.
The day of the trip finally arrived. We packed our suitcases and drove to our
uncle’s house. We stayed with our uncle Jita for eight weeks.
One night, before turning off the lights in our bedroom, he said to me,
“Tomorrow, we’re going on an adventure, Clara. We’re going to explore a new
place. Here is my old camera. You can take photos of the things you see. Rest
well. We have a long walk ahead of us tomorrow.”
