Description: DM2008072221:GHAED:SOCIAL:PERSONALITIES:APR 1961 - Yes! They're Work Crazy! - These are the villagers of Susano who built their own road to open up the district. Chief Mensah, in centre, argues out a point with Peter Dennis, the Mass Education assistant. It's a Do-It-Yourself with a difference. For whereas in other parts of the world Do-It-Yourself is mainly carried out by individuals for their own good, here it involves whole communities. Hence its official name, Community Development. The do-it-yourself craze has hit Ghana's villages. Our country folk are building their own bridges, laying their own roads, setting up their own Post Offices. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
