The Youth of Accra
The Korle Lagoon1 flows into the Gulf of Guinea, the northeasternmost part of the tropical Atlantic Ocean.
It is not only a reservoir of pollution and waste, but also a place where hope, vivid memories, and struggles all come together.
Hundreds of young people are growing up along its banks, doing all sorts of hazardous work. These photographs chronicle youth and life in and along the Korle — one afternoon, with some extras.
