Black and white photograph showing a group of young women preparing food at the Ama Achara hospital in southeast Nigeria, run by the Methodist Missionary Society. The women kneel on the ground: two women use pestles and mortars, one woman squeezes something in her hands over a bucket, and another woman holds vegetables on her knees. The women may be making fufu, a traditional dough-like food made with ground boiled vegetables such as yams, plantain or cassava. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital.
