May 29th

Makireti, who appears to have formed her own group consisting of young girls, showed up in the morning. Her baby, Makimaki, was under tight security provided by the nannies. The members in her group included Neshashi, the main nanny, along with Malima, Siangiki, Roi, Oltaiyoni, Kuishi, and Maramoja.

Suguroi and Naleku joined the queue of babysitting Makimaki but were pushed away by the older nannies.

Loldaiga started his morning by scratching on a nearby rock and was later joined by Vaarti. After having enough lucerne, Kindani led the way to the browsing field. The orphans settled to browse in the Kone area. Vaarti, Naleku, Bondeni, and Kindani visited the Kone dam for water and thereafter returned to browsing.

The orphans browsed calmly as they slowly made their way towards the midday bottle feed. At eleven o’clock, Olorien led the first group to the mud bath. The orphans were briefly joined by ex-orphans Lualeni, Lulu, Lexi, Luki, Mutara, Mambo, Suguta, Kainuk, Sities, Turkwel, Sunni, Malkia, Sana Sana, and Naboishu.

Lodo engaged Mambo in a light pushing game, while Vaarti and Mayan engaged Lulu in a short conversation. In the afternoon, the orphans met with Orwa and Kitirua, who browsed with them for quite some time before parting ways.

In the evening, Mayan led the way back to the stockade.
