Big Anchor.
The local anchor maker in Kamsar Northern Guinea, Big Anchor is a local business man whose massive sign you could see from the main road along with the piles of his signature green anchors.
Big and his team were really lovely and showed me how they make the anchors that all the local fishermen rely on for their nets and boats.
Everything is coated in the red bauxite dust from the near port where the bauxite is shipped from the mines inland to the US, Europe and China. One the poorest countries in Africa with some of the most valuable minerals on the planet. Big and his boys defiantly felt the inequality as they watched the precious red dust get shipped abroad, with just the remnants coating their houses, their lunches and the anchors.
