The Village of Leyo

In the center of the remote area of northwest Pokot, towers a beautiful, rugged mountain the locals call Kapcha.  At the foot of this mountain is Leyo, the home village of Phillip, the area's senior chief.  It is here that the elders of the village welcome me to come and live. 
The elders gave me a Pokot name.  They call me "Limakori" which literally means a big white bull with red spots, but figuratively is "an old warrior who comes to help his people in their time of need."
'Here the people built me a hut on the top of a small mountain above their village.  The place has a wonderful view of the valley with Mt. Kapcha rising in the background. It is here that I come to rest and be refreshed from my journeys to remote villages through the region.
