Narrow window for roofing

Harvesting grass for roofing. This tends to be a job women engage in.

There’s a pretty narrow window when this can take place. The floods have receded by December or so, and then by the end of February most of the savanna will have been burned.

People cutting grasses to tie into roofing (to use themselves or to sell) need to act quickly before the harvest sites are all burned. The woman above is tying the grass onto a bamboo splint for roofing.
