Atarah Family – Kongo Photos

Jump to Comments

I stayed with the Atarah family for almost 2 weeks near the beginning of my stay in Ghana. I remember the visit fondly, because I met my very good friend Justa during that time. She lives in the same village as I do, Tongo, and we have become great friends since this time.

The Atarah Family; Pascal, Kristy, Justa, Selina, Martin.

Selina helping to shoo the chickens towards her mother, Kristy, has trapped termites for the fowl to eat (protein!) in the bucket.

Sowing Sorghum at the beginning of the farming season. I got a fantastic sunburn on my back on that day.

Eric Atarah, my host and the head of the family, is on the far right.

Kristy brews Pito – the local beer – and sells it in the market, which is held every three days. It takes three days to brew Pito. Coincidence?

Kristy, stirring TZ, a millet porridge and staple food that is eaten with spicy soups. It composes most major meals.  I eat it a lot.

I try to work for my supper as often as possible.

Hope you enjoyed the picture show and the non-work related update!
