Two boys at a waterfall, Eastern province, Kenya, 1939

“Going to the school, Meru.” Two boys stop for a drink at a waterfall on their way to school in East Meru, a five mile walk. One boy carries his books and lunch in a fold of his ‘shuka’. ❧ The image is from the collection of Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) showing the period from 1928-1947 at the Chogoria mission which was established near Mt Kenya, in 1922, and run by Dr Irvine.

『去学校咯，梅鲁。』两名男孩在前往东梅鲁的上学途中于一处瀑布驻足饮水，这段路程步行需时五英里。其中一名男孩将课本与午餐塞进自己「舒卡（shuka）」的衣褶中。❧ 本图像出自阿奇博尔德·克莱夫·欧文博士（Dr Archibald Clive Irvine，1893-1974）的藏品，记录了1928年至1947年间乔戈里亚传教站（Chogoria mission）的风貌——该传教站于1922年在肯尼亚山附近建立，由欧文博士主持运营。
