Momo, Northwest Province, Cameroon, West Africa. This is one of our work sites. It’s a tough life.
On days we’re not in the GHAPE office, we’re visiting GHAPE centers far in the picturesque nether-areas of the jungle/savanna. On maps, it’s classified as the latter, but feels like the former.
While there, Megan will patiently wait for loan repayments to come in – apparently by staring at me. After two hours of song, hand-holding, and counting piles of money, we visit project sites of the entrepreneurs. We’ll take photos of their farms, businesses, or animals, and later write their journals and put them online. We’ll admire their pigs, or, in my case, one man’s Portland Trailblazer baseball cap. And at the end of the day, after site visits are over, we’ll even get libations poured by our kindly guide inside an animal horn cup (non-Ivory, I assure you).
Get a feel for it. Click image on the bottom-right for a larger, print-worthy photo of the first shot of the day (look closely for the early morning dew). All others click once to connect to the flickr page for descriptions.
