These beautiful ladies have arrived to the bore hole for a brief rest in the shade.

After only a brief rest sitting in the shade, the ladies are off again. Not sure how far they went to chop down the tree to collect the firewood. And I am not sure how far they have til they get home to their families. But it must be a long way for them to stop and rest! The bundles of wood are so heavy it take 2-3 women to lift them up and place them on another women's head. My friend Rebeka was there at the bore hole and she assisted them, while I took photos :)
Would you be able to carry a load of firewood?
I could carry a few pieces of firewood, not a load
