Missie der Zusters van St. Maria van Namen, Belgische Congo, Leverville (Kwango). Préparation du manioc. Preparing Manioc. Bereiding van de manioc.” Mission women at Leverville [Bandundu] pause in their preparation of cassava. Four of the women support containers on their heads, one filled with the manioc or cassava roots. One grinds the flour. Each young woman wears a card with a number on it. The caption is printed on the back of the postcard. There is no handwriting on the back.
