Tintihigrene - what's it like?
Assamate Wallet Imalahite

"I was born into a nomadic family. My main childhood memory is of moving from area to area in order to find grass and water for the animals. I wouldn't want to go back to that life. It was just too tiring. I remember when I was a little girl we had to travel a very long distance, perhaps 40 kms, on donkey-back, just to fetch water. Today I have water almost beside my house.
