Every other day or so, she slips these on her feet and walks 2 miles to the village on the dirt roads that are extremely muddy this time of year, and then back again. She also puts them on and walks the half mile between her house and our neighborhood a couple times a day. Many times, however, the Baka take off their shoes when they go into the forest...which is exactly the time that I desire to have my shoes on the most!Today when I went outside, I saw her sitting there with her shoes on the ground next to her. I made a deal with her. If she let me take pictures of her shoes...I would buy her new ones the next time we went to town. She laughed with the others gathered there under the cooking shelter, and agreed to it.

I guess I shouldn't complain for what I have, huh? It sorta puts it all into perspective for me. Do your Baka neighbors come to you for money often for things like this?
