"Sikonge. Austeilen der Nahrungsmittel an Schlafkranke im Hospital" ("Sikonge. Distributing the foodstuffs to people suffering from sleeping sickness at the hospital"). A European woman (probably sister Pedersen) is distributing the food which is stored in two large metall barrels. She is handing food to an African man who is holding a plate to receive the food. An African nurse is standing next to the European woman. On the right, a further man. The food is distributed on the patio of a house with a thatched roof. The nurse in the picture is probably Pedersen, Margareta. She worked as a nurse in Unyamwezi from 1928 until unknown.--The picture was probably not taken before 1928.
