Pictures Of Gypsy Camp


The church.


Kids in the church during one of our programs. We attempted to teach the kids some simple concepts about animal life, plant life, and the solar system.


The gypsy children often look older than their age. This one is 13.


There were a lot of them around all the time!


Some were adorable.


Some were adorable and dirty.


Some were bossy and absolutely tireless! And somehow still adorable.


The setting of the village is very picturesque.


Building materials are taken however they can be found. I can't imagine these places in the winter.


Bricks of clay and straw are used to construct the main walls of every house. On the left you can see bricks drying, and on the right you can see the area where the clay is taken from. Without an oven to bake them properly, the bricks are very susceptible to becoming soggy in rainy weather and compromising the entire structure of the house.

  1. Hello!
    I don't know how I got onto your blog but just a quick question:
    Is it possible to different between Ukrainian gypsies and non-gypsies just by facial appearances?
    Thanks :)
