Ghana "Volta River Villages" Jay Dunn 24 images Created 27 Mar 2008
West Africa, Ghana, Ho, Titikope, 2007.
Countryside communities such as Titikope, a tiny Volta River village, receive little government money to invest in agrarian infrastructure, so traditional skills such as blacksmithing, basket weaving, and carpentry are in high demand to keep residents in good shape. The village gets by on local knowledge, making do with small-scale transactions and close relationships to survive. Industry is everywhere, but on a personal level, reliant on the resourcefulness of its citizens and the fertility of the land and water around it. -- More at www.jaydunn.org --
