Each school holiday, Juma and his family visit a different region of Kenya to discover the sights and sounds Kenya has. This year they are in Kirinyaga county.
Juma and his family do not know much about Kirinyaga. All Juma knows is that it was named after Mount Kenya's highest peak.
“That grass is a really beautiful shade of green,” Juma says, pointing outside his window.
“I do not think that is grass, neither is it weeds,” his mother says.
“I think it is a paddy field with rice growing,” Juma’s father says, slowing down the car to a stop.

Almost immediately, Juma saw the sign that says Mwea Pishori Rice Farm.
“Let us take a photo at the sign,” Juma’s father suggests, unfastening his seat belt.
There was a cool breeze and half the sky was sunny while the other half had dark grey clouds. The view was however still beautiful.
Unfortunately, mosquitos were drawn to Juma like magnets to steel. Mosquitos love paddy fields with their stagnant water for breeding. Soon they were back in the car.
