Clay earthen soil, pillow-like clouds in the sky, & the luxury that water is, in a tiny village, in the Heart of Africa.  In Makuleke Village, South Africa, we receive water for two days, every two days.  People wait for hours, sitting on their containers, or in their wheelbarrows, for their turn to come and fill their tanks with water - the greatest life source that is, unfortunately, a luxury to so many around the world.  Mati : Water.
