Gaitungu at the bench saw, Chogoria, Kenya, ca.1924

“Ngaitungu cutting shingles on the small saw.” Interior view of the Chogoria workshop with a man working a circular saw. The workshop machinery ran off the hydro-electric power generated from the waterfall on the Kamara River. Gaitungu became the supervisor of the workshop and building work in 1928. ❧ This image is from the first years of the Chogoria mission in Kenya, which was run by the Rev. Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974), from the collection entitled ‘Chogoria, 1922. The early days.”
