Banda elders visit the building site

Banda elders pay a visit to the Banda Cultural Centre where two earth-wall structures are being built. Banda Gyasehene Tolɛɛ Yaw Sienyono (second from right) wears traditional draped cloth and leads the delegation. The walls of a coursed earth atakpame house have been partially raised in the background. Behind the building site are examples of cement block and metal-roof structures that have displaced buildings made from locally available materials over recent decades.
