Nkuefi

Black and white photograph of a Methodist church in a Nigerian village (possibly called Nkeufi.) The thatched roof of the church can be seen. A group of Nigerian men, women and children stand in front of the church, along with a male European missionary in a pith helmet, standing next to a car in which he has presumably travelled to the village. The missionary is probably from the Methodist Missionary Society (formerly the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society.) The caption to this image reads: "Nkeufi [?] church - people awaiting injection." The villagers may have been waiting for inoculations against diseases such as the then-common bacterial infection, yaws. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital, run by the Methodist Missionary Society.
