Living in Ukarumpa

What is it like to live in Ukarumpa? What are the roads like? Is it a walled-in compound? What are the homes like? I've heard of the Meeting House--what's that?

If you've never been to Ukarumpa, these are the sorts of questions you have. Of course, a few pictures cannot take the place of living in Ukarumpa, but they may help you see why the people living in Ukarumpa love it there.
