This was our final day of prep before travelling to the
villages. In the morning we bought supplies and created a schedule for our
village trips before Asante arrived. A longtime partner of the ADE Ghana
project, Asante has been working on sight with our team, and throughout the
semester he designed and built a press with 2 lead screws using materials
locally gathered. He brought his press today, and we compared its capabilities
to that of our own (which has only one screw). At the end of the day, both produced remarkably dry cassava in mere hours and seemed ready for inspection and feedback from the gari producing women.
