I took this picture on Sept. 9th, 2010 during one of my many trips to a village called Mandari in my operational area. Cassava is a widely consumed tuber which grows all over Ghana. These women ban together to peel, chop, ferment, mill, press, and lastly toast the cassava into a popular coarse flour known as gari. The work is usually done only by women and children so when I sit to help them (a 26 yr. old white male) it is great amusement for the ladies.
