Description

The ladies all stand in a line and work from bottom to top up the hill. With a small bushknife and with the hands all the weeds and small bushes are removed. Everything is thrown down. The sticks are put together and lay against tree stumps. This piece of ground is from Marina, Amon and another lady. After cleaning it it is divided up. They will plant peanuts here.
