This is a group of Buduma men (known as tall people - compare to Sam [white guy] and Nehemiah just in front of him) who we had a good long visit with. They gave us a lot of information and were very open. They say they realize they are an unknown people and need help. They pleaded for us to get out the word about them. Despite to pressing needs of daily life, what they need most is the Gospel. We know of no Buduma Christians.
These are some Buduma houses. They are made of millet or sorghum stalks. This village, according to the GPS, is about 20 miles into Lake Chad. Obviously, since it's not underwater, Lake Chad is no longer there. It's shrunk drastically in recent years.
Some of the same Buduma men with Nehemiah (a Nigerien missionary and our guide/interpreter) on the far right.
Apparently all Buduma women wear nose-rings. The Buduma also do a lot of facial scarring as you can somewhat see on these two ladies.
