Return to Water in Africa

 

 

Mr. Mbodza, one of the oldest men in Gumira, tells old stories about water while he makes traditional crafts. Here he is making drums. He must soak the wood in water in order to work with it. To make most of his crafts, he has to use water for soaking reeds, wood, and other materials.
