another page of the flyer I posted yesterday with some Opel models. Here we see they were building some Chevrolet trucks, from North America.

$8.5 million was spent building this factory, which opened in1975 to build 4000 trucks and 8000 cars per year. I wonder if it is still operating.

Made these blinds from old flour sacks I bought in Zaire (Democratic Republic of Congo) about 20 years ago. Love the raw cotton and the printed blue design. They're now in my kitchen.

Operating dates 1971 - 1992

One of the principal Kuba dance masks is called Pwoom Itok; it was part of the Kuba royal circle of masks. The chief identifying characteristic of the Pwoom Itok mask is the shape of the eyes, whose centers are cones surrounded by holes through which the wearer sees. The mask would have originally been attached to a more elaborate headdress consisting of feathers and raffia cloth. These masks, like many Kuba masks, are polychrome or multicolored--although this specimen is monochrome.

The water was made by eight chlorinators and two reverse osmosis machines in Goma for Rwandan refugees located at Camp Kimbumba, Zaire.
