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 :)))

@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!

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

But overall it's a nice video.

@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!

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.

@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.

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!

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?

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

@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.

bless them for having such beautiful smiles!!!

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.
