0:00:55 > 0:00:58- It looks very busy.- It does.

0:00:58 > 0:01:03The buildings that you see here are built with mud.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hello, Mamakeyanta!

0:01:12 > 0:01:17He's going to help his dad mend their home using mud.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Where are they going?

0:01:24 > 0:01:29They're off to a place where they can fill their baskets with mud.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36- It looks like a long way!- It does!

0:01:42 > 0:01:45There. They've reached a dry river bed

0:01:45 > 0:01:48where there's lots of mud to be found.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Dad's paddling in the mud!

0:01:53 > 0:01:57- It looks gooey and wet!- Yes.

0:01:57 > 0:02:02But it also helps to make the mud nice and soft and wet.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Dad puts the mud in his basket.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19There.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28Off they go with the baskets full of mud,

0:02:45 > 0:02:50Home. And Mamakeyanta and Dad are ready to start

0:02:50 > 0:02:53on the work of mending the wall.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56What are they putting in the mud?

0:02:57 > 0:03:02Lots of dry bits like straw to make to make it thicker and stronger.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05This will help the mud to stick better to the wall.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08It looks like they're making a cake!

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- A mud cake!- It does.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Splat!

0:03:30 > 0:03:35- That looks fun!- Yes, but it's very important work too.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Now they're rubbing and spreading the mud on the walls

0:03:39 > 0:03:43to cover and mend all the cracks.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46This will help to make the wall really, really strong.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49You're a great helper, Mamakeyanta!

0:03:49 > 0:03:53He is. He's doing exactly what his daddy is doing -
