Ghana: Girls Carrying Own Chairs To School




Many years ago, when I shot this picture in Adukrom, an Ashanti village near Kumasi, the local school’s classes had benches but no chairs. Each morning, soon after dawn, children in school uniforms carried their own chairs to school on their heads. A boy in the background is taking a bucket shower. Outside school, a woman sold the kids breakfast at a price the kids’ parents could afford.
