  • Young men covered with talcum powder (used to make it more difficult for opponents to get a firm grasp) wait for wrestling matches to start during the yearly evala festival in the town of Houde, northern Togo, on Thursday July 12, 2007.<br />
<br />
During the week-long tourney, young men wrestle against peers from their own and other villages. The evala festival is not only a sporting event, but also part of the rites of passage young men from the KabyŽ ethnic group will complete as they become full-grown men. The fighters, called evalo, will wrestle on three consecutive years to show their strength and their worth as they become full members of the community. <br />
<br />
Wrestlers cover themselves with talcum powder to allegedly make it more difficult for their opponent to get a firm grasp. Rubbing hands with dirt is also a popular technique which many believe helps counter the slippery effect of talcum powder. On the eve of the first day of fighting, the father of each evalo will buy a dog for his son to eat. It is believed that the meat of the animal will endow the young man with the strength and courage characteristic to the animal.<br />
<br />
While the wrestling is reserved to young men in their early to mid-twenties, younger boys also take part in unofficial matches as they prepare to become the next evalo. Even though supporters often become infuriated when their fighter is denied the victory they think he deserves, the outcome of the wrestling matches has little importance. Winners celebrate alongside those who are defeated and more than anything else, the evala festival is a social gathering where KabyŽs come to meet each other. Many KabyŽs in the diaspora even come home to attend the event. <br />
<br />
The first day of fighting pits evalos from two halves of a same village against each other. On the next day, fighters from an entire village wrestle against their peers from a neighbor settlement before joining them and facing together a similar group on the third day of the event. After one day

  • Young members of the Liberian Dance Troupe (LDT) sing the national anthem of Liberian during a performance at the Buduburam refugee settlement, roughly 20 km west of Accra, Ghana's capital, on Saturday April 14, 2007.

The Buduburam refugee settlement is still home over 30,000 Liberians, most of which have mixed feelings about returning to Liberia.

A parasite transmitted through water, guinea worm emerges from the host's body nine months after drinking contaminated water.

Despite a widespread eradication program Ghana has the second largest number of cases in the world - after Sudan.

  • Young boy sitting on empty sugar bags at a UNHCR food distribution centre in the Ghanaian Volta region. Thousands of Togolese citizens crossed the border into Ghana after the violence that followed presidential elections in April 2005. Partly because of strong cultural ties between populations on both sides of the border, Togolese refugees were able to enjoy the relative hospitality of their Ghanaian neighbours, and are today scattered in various villages across the border. The UNHCR complains that, since the refugees aren't concentratred in large camps, media attention has been minimal, and that it has been very difficult to attract funding.

  • Members of the Liberian Dance Troupe (LDT) perform traditional dancing at the Buduburam refugee settlement, roughly 20 km west of Accra, Ghana's capital, on Saturday April 14, 2007. One of the main goals of the LDT is to teach young refugee children, many of which have never seen Liberia, about their country's music, dance and culture. The Buduburam refugee settlement is still home over 30,000 Liberians, most of which have mixed feelings about returning to Liberia.
