Dama: "Wako is a customer of mine. Like my husband, he is a cattle merchant. People here are very happy about us taking photos. They see we have something different that can even change our life. My favourite photographs are of the transactions that take place in my shop because people will see I am strong and work for myself but that it also benfits the Boran people because it gives them close access to goods and they don't have to travel to the towns."
