Beautiful video.

[sibeguev]

bless them for having such beautiful smiles!!!

[aurabarbie56]

Wow, before, Africa didn't have anything. They didn't have houses or schools or even clothes or food, But America helped them and it is just amazing how much money we donated to them to get them to where they are today. All of them look so happy and healthy and even have cars. It just makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside

"Life in Africa" is a poor title for this video. Africa is no entirely like this. There are cities in Africa that put NY and LA to shame.

[4chocolatechick4]

I'm rankled by this video, how presumptuous of white people to portray poverty with in africa.

I'm Ghanaian i was there two years ago i loved the energy everything.

Ghana is a rich vigorous country where the people enjoy life and are happy

Who do you think you are depicting it this way?

please remove this as its an immense insult.

[lilytanzy]

why ddnt you call it life is Ghana? Gosh! Africa is A CONTINENT people!

[LabeerehnGbanna]

This presents only a one-sided view and shouldn't bear a generalizing title as Life in Africa. But I'm not at all surprised; this is how people love to depict Africa.

Here's some inspiration for you! Listen to the words!

[qti707]

Why do you make this video so sad? You're only showing the village side of Ghana.

Ghana is LIFE!

I enjoyed every single minute there

I can't wait to go back next summer :)))

[jennsoer]

@qti707 why do you think this video is sad? Every time I look back at this video it makes me smile and remember how beautiful the villages in Ghana were, and how beautiful the people were. This video represents joy to me, and how Ghanaians celebrate life, no matter the circumstance!

[qti707]

@jennsoer The song is a little...ehh. That's what makes it kinda sad.

But overall it's a nice video.

[jennsoer]

@qti707 Ahh I see. I chose the song because I thought it was a pretty good representation of the spirituality of most of the Ghanaians I met, with their "keep on hoping, keep on fighting" type attitude. thanks for watching!

[billnate15]

@qti707 i love this song and its actually an inspiration to all those needing christ...endure forever...tribulations may come but god is there

[TheEzekiel300]

@jennsoer it will be nice to see the good side of africa considering africa is always stereotyped. Show the cities or something. every ones aware of the poor side of africa now.

[partisanStuckUpBia]

@qti707 It's Anti-American to believe any African could have a better life than any American.

[jdankamah]

Is that all you saw in Ghana? You could have done better to give a balance view. Thhis is not all Ghana offered you. You wouldn't have stay for even 2day. You cld have started from where the airline landed and then to the village you worked for the world to see that the airline did not land on trees. Anyway thank God you are back safe.

[jennsoer]

@jdankamah Actually, yes, I spent a month in the villages, working at a government hospital. This is what I saw, and I'm not trying to be political about it. Rather, I am sentimental and sharing the beautiful people and places I was blessed enough to experience.

[thabluz7]

@jdankamah  I don't think there was enough time and I think the combination was meaningful..........

[peasah2005]

I have been to Ghana twice in my youth, I regard Ghana as my home despite I wasn't born there.

Ghana has so much to offer and I am looking forward in going and see my queen in Aburi, apart from going to Accra, I've been to Tafo and Oda.

[blackinamerica00]

This was a very beautiful and touching video..It lets me know that the love of our lord jesus is still alive. Those chldren were so beautiful and there skin is so clean and pure. The lord really has his angels watching over that place. What city did you visit? I would love to go.

[battlefront112233]

[1UCY123]

:)

[rentvt]

wow i dont know what to say why were u there?

[valeriepotter]

Amazing! Great job =) I bet they were happy to see you. Great pictures

[jennsoer]

Awesome! What region do they live in?

[Redstomp]

My family is from Ghana, and I ought to have spent the summer there, but ended up staying at home instead to do other things. I hope you had an enjoyable time!

[rentluvr]

That was really nice. Must have been an AMAZING summer. I saw how you were with the kids and that was really cute! How long were you there for and who went with you?

[jennsoer]

Oh it was tremendously awesome being there. I was there for a month volunteering at a hospital--I went through an organization called Global Crossroad, but my boyfriend also accompanied me. We stayed with a host Ghanaian family. I'm really glad you watched the slideshow, it means a lot to me that you did!
