Lake Bunyonyi Pigmy villagers dancing for tourists.
These people came from Rwanda duing the genocide years there and settled in a small enclave where they still live.
The local Ugandan villagers and farmers have little to do with these two dozen remaining pigmies.
An European donated a small school for them on their meager parcel of land but they remain very poor, living off tourist donations.
Their hygeine is is not good and the consumption of alcohol is high.
There is a bamboo shack (bar) nearby owned by Ugandans that sells the alcohol to them.
