For his unconventional East Hampton country home, Jack Lenor Larsen created, in microcosm, his own version of an African village. The noted textile designer built a complex called the Round House, which takes its inspiration from Bantu compounds of thatched-roof mud huts.

I’ve never seen a mud hut. I wonder if the hand print on the wall belongs to the person who “sculpted” it.

I booked my AirBnB for the writers conference I’m going to in March and it is literally a mud hut! It’s going to be lovely and it’s by a bridge and it has an outdoor hot tub! It is literally. a. mud. hut. (!!!)

Another of our slum school’s pupils and her family suffered an arson attack in February, totally destroying their mud hut home and all their belongings.

Thankfully, Rebecca (14) and her six family members managed to escape unharmed and our welfare team responded quickly to relocate the family to a safer place. Child of Hope is assisting with the cost of their new rented home, at 20,000 Ugandan shillings (around £5) a month.

The picture shows Rebecca and her sister with Charles (one of our social workers) in the remains of their home.
