The Pool is still there, a friend just returned from Liberia and he has a ton of pics of the old Lamco Mine and facilities. ArcelorMittal is re-opening the mine... and building a 2nd railroad to the Port.

Do you remember the amazing avocados you could pick from the trees around the pool. I remember it well. My father used to work in Yekepa. So sad to hear what happened after we left. We lived next to a rice farm and we used to go up in the mountains for BBQ's. I also remember the ladies outside the supermarket selling their fruit and veg. My first experience of Africa so lots of fond memories.

I remember this pool ! IT's so sad that it's no more, Yekepa was so fun!! I lived in Area F and went to the international school.

I am working there now. What a shame! Yekepa still has around 5000 inhabitants, 95% are unemployed. There is no money in this town, but hopefully within the next 2 years the new mines will re-open. The pool is empty, the jungle has grown back and some locals use it as a toilet.

Big shame!!

My family lived in Yekepa in '73/'74. We used to play tag in the swimming pool using a tennis ball. (Throw the ball and hit someone to tag them.) We'd dive under the bridge to hide from whoever was "it." Many hours of fun in that pool. I was in the 7th grade at the International school. We lived in one of the guest houses of the big A Framed church within walking distance of school. Thank you for the videos!!

It's 1975 and 1976. I took what I had (so far) and put them together as this clip. If I get more I will add it to this clip.

I spent a lot of time in the pool.

My parents worked in the cafeteria 1968 and 1969.
