“At our gate lived the large and friendly Kioja family. They continued in close contact with the benefits the mission brought, but unchanged. Other families were the opposite and furnished the teachers, dressers &c. that faithfully served their people later on.” “Little boy is holding a yam vine: their clothes are of leather.” Group portrait of a father and two young children in traditional dress. ❧ Image from the collection of Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) showing the early years of the Chogoria mission, established near Mt Kenya in 1922 and run by Dr Irvine, ministering to the Chuka and Mwimbi peoples.
