    Travelling people still call to our houses. Some of them have being doing so for many years. They get alms from the people such as woll, eggs, tea, sugar and potatoes. They go to the town and sell the wool and eggs. They stay in some houses for a week. They do have food with them sometimes. Some travel from place to place on foot. Some of them do have a donkey for carrying their load.
