Women at Work

We take for granted the conveniences that make our lives so busy. It was apparent in both countries that daily life is much about survival and work. Everyone must do their part. Here are some images of women at work...

She is separating the wheat from chaff essentially. She holds up a bowl of grain and pours it out, allowing the wind to blow away the dust and dirt. The grain falls down into another bowl.

She owns a micro business in Balama. She manages everything in the store that runs out of her house.

Fishing.

Making soap from Palm trees.

Cooking lunch for the school children in Balama.

Washing clothes. The original stone washed.

These images give you a partial picture of daily work for women in these countries. They are hardworking. They are industrious. They are leaders and business owners. The first and only female President of an African country now presides over Liberia and seems to be doing many good things for her country.
