Karamoja Shoes

I’ve written a few times about shoes and the stories these shoes tell about the life of the one who wears them. In Karamoja, only those are gifted shoes by people like this medical team we worked with get them. A few people buy them or find them but most go without. The broad feet and short toes of the Karamojong testify to the hardiness needed in living a nomad’s life.

These little feet stepped onto the scale and I couldn’t help but wonder about that life and what it might hold in its future.
