Taken in 1988 as we waited on the pond bank for the first harvest of fish for this group of farmers. They showed me how to make hats out of big forest leaves for protection from the hot equatorial sun.
Sylvain Mukobo was among the first to build his pond in the Manga Fish Farmer's Association. With this harvest, he motivated a second group to invest in fish farming.
Fish farmer Papa Ngwanza adds compost to his pond with his two boys. The program was called Projet Pisiculture Familiale, or Family Fish Project, and had just celebrated its 10th anniversary when this picture was taken in 1988.
