It is difficult to express in a few sentences what I am feeling about this trip. First of all I thought Africa was similar than Guatemala, but again it is not so true. It is similar in many areas but it is so different in many. For example 37 % of the Guatemalan lives with two dollars per day, in Africa I think is above 50% of the population or more (not only in GHANA). So from now I am going to say that Africa is more needed than Guatemala in all aspects. I feel that my work was only a few comparing with the need, besides, you need to add, the muslims, the roads, the weather etc. It is a beautiful country, specially their people, how they greet us, they are so hard workers, they want to serve you and above all this they are friendly. Hey I came here to bring a change, ...at the end they change me. I watched SURVIVOR on tv, but the things and experiences we had does not compare to this program.
The first week I arrived I saw a very nice side of ACCRA. You know I met with another Guatemalan that is working as the Manager of the company TIGO of cell phones, and I saw a very nice and weatlhy side of this city. But, then after that-I saw the reallity...you cannot compare. I am in love with the people of Nakpayili- took me a while to find the appropiate teacher, at the end we find him and I did my best to train JP (I will talk more about him later). He works alone side with Pastor Amos, that leads the only church in Nakpayili. This village is a muslim community of 3,000 people surrounded by 4 or more musks, so to be Christian is very difficult. The Lord opened the door for us to be in one of the muslims schools of this area. So about 300 students are going to recieve the Word of God through education. The chief of the community allowed us to be there.
