Dambai

Walking around

 

Creative toy. Information posters instead of newspapers. One of the two fuel stations. Worker. Last journey for the bull.

 

The new market.  "Let there be light": Flag of a party and tower of the mosque. Nightlife at the main road.

 

Water from the Volta - for selling in the town and for immediate drinking. Boy with Polio. Drinking water from the Volta is dangerous: 60% of the pupils suffer from bilharzia. Rev. Alex Owusu integrates health education in his church program, but behaviour change is difficult, since many people still believe: "Volta water makes me strong!" We did not try.

 

The Volta ferry: Important connection to the north. Right picture: The ferry returns for a late coming car.

 

Dangerous trip into the darkness without alternative: After leaving the last ferry these travellers face 60 km on the bad road to Kete Krachi.
