Samburu, Kenya 2010

A Samburu woman milks a goat while a young goat moves in for some too.  The diet of these people consists mostly of this milk and some blood from their cows.  They collect the blood by making a tiny nick in the jugular of the cow, draining  the blood into a cup and then sealing the wound with ash.  Meat is only consumed on special occasions.  Their diet is supplemented with roots, vegetables and tubers dug up and made into a soup.
