This is my entry for #monomad challenge by @monochromes.
I have introduced Rendille tradition and culture in this post: Rendille tribe.
Here I will show one of the main activities of Rendille warriors (men and women): milking camels each morning. Warriors take care of the village, protecting the camels and the community, and searching and collecting water to feed animals and people.
Here you can see a warrior while milking a camel, helped by a child.
Warriors use to wear a sort of wooden skirt, colorful bracelets and other typical ornaments and sticks.
They can't speak, only if necessary.
These activities is a service to help and improve community life, and it lasts about ten years.
Children are helping to collect milk.
Elder people collect milk, very useful for diet, pouring it inside old smaller bottles:
After working, children are free to game and show us their impressive agility!
