Mundari child with one of the bulls of the cattle. The Mundari are cattle herders of South Sudan who dedicate their lives to the care of their cattle. In their cattle camps, kids are doing most of the work. They collect the fresh cow dung and put it into piles which are then set on fire to repel the voracious mosquitoes of the area. The Mundari also use the ash to rub on themselves and their cattle, creating a protection against mosquitoes. The young kids with few adult guardinas are sleeping with the cows. The ash from dung fires, as fine as talcum powder, is often used as bedding.
