Small scale farmers in the Uluguru mountains in Tanzania.
"We are in a town called Morogoro, and are being shown around by an outfit called "MVIWATA", a farmers advisory service set up in 1993 to help small scale farmers get their foothold on the market place. The jeeps drive us up into the mountains. Colours are so lush and vibrant up here. There's rich tropical vegetation everywhere. Once again, my mind is playing tricks on me, as I'm more than slightly distracted by the breathtaking scenery all around. I'm becoming numb to the recurring scenes of families living in mud huts, with no electricity or running water. It's almost becoming normal."
