Kukuo: Part 2

in #africa5 years ago (edited)

Having taken a long taxi ride to reach the wrong Kukuo a couple days prior, we were irritated to realize that the right Kukuo was right down the street from our hotel in Tamale. Well, irritated but also relieved that it was so close. Unless there was a third Kukuo in the area (which wouldn't actually have surprised us), this was surely going to be the pottery-making village we had heard about.


We knew right away that we had reached the pottery-making Kukuo (more or less here), when we spotted a huge pile of smoldering hay, in which ceramic pots were being finished. Excellent! Arranging a tour wasn't the easiest thing in the world, but after all we had endured to reach this spot, we were not about to be denied. After a small amount of challenging back-and-forth in English/Dagbon/Sign-Language, we were seated legs-crossed in the small courtyard which connected a few of the adobe huts, and ready for our lesson.

The shots are just awesome, I really like this post man... Imagine all we can do for these people if we spent at least half the global army budget into developing these wonderful societies around the activities they have been dedicating their life into since ancient times. I imagined some kind of pottery art gallery business or something like that from where they can start to work hard in order to earn their success with real chances of achieving it. Right now, only a miracle could help some of them.

Best regards.
