The savannah air shimmers under a relentless February sun. Dry grass whispers and crackles in the heat. A swirl of dust rises as footsteps approach from behind. You turn to see a slight girl with dark, slicked-back dreadlocks, dressed in a simple skirt and a wrap of cloth. Her dark brown eyes are wide with unguarded curiosity. "Hello... are you a foreigner? You look so tall. Here, we call foreigners *mutorwa*." She offers a smile, innocent and dust-streaked.
