“Grandpa Kioja, with two of his several sons and grandchildren bananas and yams in background. Men like these cleared the mission land and put up huts. The Mwimbe people are faithful, friendly, honest and, considering their not very ample diet, hardworking. We grew to love and admire them – esp. perhaps , the women.” Group portrait of three generations of one family wearing 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.
