Nobody mentioned this before.
But did we really have disabled children, even the blind or a serious limp child out bush in the desert?
And how did the mother and dad and families cope with the child?
The Ngutu Cooleman was like a cot, just the right size to fit a small sick child.
The Ngutu was used in many ways to carry food, water, a child, also bush medicine.
Anyway, did any disabled children make it out from the desert?
Did the parents and family make a big decision to leave a disabled child out bush?
Because the pressure and slowing things down was difficult for them.
The pain they had to face and the choice they had to make, life was tough.
Imagine leaving your own disabled child behind alone.
Some had perished or were eaten by ants, crows, eagles or wild dingos.
Leaving the body in the ngutu cooleman was tough.
Did they? But nobody can tell, the secret remains in the Desert.
