Slum photos of Sierra Leone and rice paddies of India

 All photos taken by: Emily Warning   (Waite-Altringer's Environmental Science student) 

Garbage (above): This is just a giant open air dump we drove by in Freetown, Sierra Leone. You can't see it in the picture but there were people, including kids, sorting through the heap to find things they could use or sell, etc.

Kroo Bay (above): The bridge in Kroo Bay is built on piles of mud and garbage.

Kroo Bay 2 (above): This is a stream running through the Kroo Bay slum in Freetown, Sierra Leone. This slum is right on the Atlantic Ocean and it was probably the worst of the three slums we went to. The water in the stream was used for bathing, laundry, and swimming and was boiled for cooking and drinking. Notice the pig in the background.

Kroo Bay 3: Another picture of the stream in Kroo bay. The woman closest to the camera has containers to collect water for drinking and/or cooking.

Kroo Bay 4 and 5 (above and below): more pictures of the stream

Slum on ocean: This is of a different slum in Freetown (I think it's Suzanne's Bay but I'm not positive). There's a wall of trash along the edge of the water.

Rice Field (above): This was taken near Ukhrul, Manipur, India. It shows how they go with the curvature of the land and how they use tied ridges.

Rice Paddy (above): This shows from above the terracing that is often used in rice paddies. This is also taken near Ukhrul.

Tied Ridges (above): This one just shows the tied ridges that are used...
