Ilanga lishaya emanzini ngoMgqibelo ngoLwesihlanu ntambama ntambama phezu kwekhanda lika-Sana Alhassan, njengoba ngokucophelela wathela amafutha we-shea ebhodweni elimangalisa, phakathi kokubhema okwenyuka emoyeni okwakunjengekushokoledi.
"Manje ukuthi sisesikhathini sokuzila ukudla, kuyangizama kakhulu," kusho u-Alhassan ngokusebenzisa umhumushi. "Kodwa kuyadingeka kakhulu."
U-Alhassan ungomunye wabesifazane abangu-60 abaqashwe esikhungweni se-Tiehisuma Shea Butter Processing Processing eTamale, esenyakatho yeGhana.
Sekuyiminyaka eyishumi, uke wavuka ekuseni ukuze athenge amantongomane e-shea, futhi waqeda, egaye, egosiwe, eyomile, exube futhi exoxise ama-shea kernels ukuze akhokhe imali yezingane zesikole.
U-Alhassan ungomunye wesifazane wesifazane osomabhizinisi owangiphefumulela phakathi nesonto lami eliyisithupha-e-Ghana njengomlobi wezithunywa zeNew York University. Ngathatha izithombe, ngabuza imibuzo eminingi futhi ngathola izindaba ezithakazelisayo ngakho ngiyakwazi ukuqonda izinsizi zabesifazane nendlela abazinqoba ngayo usuku ngalunye. Kwakuyinjabulo enkulu.
Kodwa kwakungeyona into entsha. Ngokuqinisekile, ngangihlezi egumbini likagogo ngesikhatsi sokuxoxa ngaphambi kokuba ngilale embhedeni ubusuku bonke, ngibuyele edolobheni elincane eNdiya . Wayengitshele ukuthi bebehluphekile kanjani nokuthi abadala basekhaya basebenze kanjani emasimini kuze kube yilapho behluleka ukuhlukanisa isikhumba sesandla sakho ekushiseni ama-blisters. Ngicela nje ngithi, lokho kwakuyisithombe esihle sokufaka ikhanda lika-5 ubudala.
Ngokuphindaphindiwe, kunezinto eziningi engingazibuza ngazo. Indoda yethu yemifino yafika emnyango wethu ngeqabunga elikhulu lemifino elinganisela kahle ekhanda lakhe ukuthi kwakudingeka ngigijime ukuze ngimsize njalo ekuseni. Angikaze ngithathe izithombe zakhe. Angikaze ngimbuze mayelana nokuphila kwakhe. Angikaze ngizibuze ngoba yayijwayele.
Kwakuyinto engavamile futhi ngangimatasa kakhulu ngibheka ihlombe likagogo ngisemkhatsini, ngimthukuthele ukuba angathengi i-okra.
Eminyakeni eyishumi kamuva, lapho ngisenyakatho yeGhana, ngisondelene nezinyembezi, ngilambile izindaba eziningi ukuthi ngazo zonke izinyathelo zangikhumbuza labo engangiphuthelwa ukukhula.
Abantu bathi kubalulekile ukuhamba ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene ukuqonda izwe. Ngingasho ukuthi ukuhamba kwami kubonakala kubalulekile ukuze ngisize ngiqonde ikhaya lami.
Emuva e-India, umama ungumjozi wezifo zogciwane. Unekhaya lokubeletha futhi iziguli eziningi zihamba ngehora noma ezimbili ngokuthutha komphakathi ezikhungathekile ukuze zifike esibhedlela ezivela emizaneni eseduze. Umphefumulo ophanayo enhliziyweni, uvame ukunikeza izinsizakalo mahhala nemithi kubantu abampofu abadinga ukwelashwa kodwa abakwazi ukukukhokhela. Ngakhulela kuleso sibhedlela, ngibheka ukuhlinza futhi ngihlezi ekuxoxweni ngezinsuku ezingenalutho.
Kodwa kwakungakaze ngivakashele umtholampilo wamahhala kaDkt. David Abdulai, uShekhina eTamale ukuthi ngikuqonda okusemqoka okwenziwe ngumama. Ngazulazula phakathi kwamakhemikhali avulekile ahlala namaqhwa amancane ahlala nabantu abanochoko, iziguli ze-HIV / AIDS, abantu abakhubazekile ngokwengqondo nangokwenyama kanye nabantu abathile abahluphekile abathola indawo ephephile noDkt. Abdulai.
Ubona iziguli ezingama-30 ngosuku, ezingenamali ngokuphelele, futhi akakaze abuze noma ubani ngemali noma ngeminye iminikelo.
Yiqiniso, angiqhathanisi ukupha kukaMama kuDkt. Abdulai wokuzidela. Kodwa lelo hora engiye ngilubheka futhi ngililalela likhuluma ngomsebenzi wakhe langenza ngaziqaphela: zonke lezo zikhathi umama owachitha ukukhathazeka ngokungabi nemali eyanele cishe wayefanele ukuhlinzeka ngemisebenzi yokuhlela umndeni yamahhala nezinqubo zokuhlinza. Kungani bekungenzeka ukuthi wayelokhu eqhubeka enza lokhu ngokubheka izingxenyana eziqinile ngempela zokusika?
Ngokushesha ngase ngibuyele e-Accra, ngihamba emigwaqweni emakethe yeMaklala ematasa ngaphansi kwelanga elishisayo laseGhana. Izimo, abantu kanye nezingxoxo engqondweni yami ngaphambili ezazibonakalisa ngaphambi kwami zazibonakalisa phambi kwami, njengezingokoqobo njengendwangu ebizwa ngokuthi i-Wax yaseDutch ekhishwe ngokugqamile ngaphandle kwesitolo sezindwangu.
Kwathatha ukuhamba kwamakhilomitha angaphezu kuka-10 000, eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-10 yokubuka okungelona ukuhlaziya ukuthi ngizoqonda ukuthi ngikuphi, nokuthi ngivelaphi.
Ekupheleni kwalolu hlelo, ngabuyela eNew York City ngingaqonda kangcono ukuthi yikuphi ukuhambela okungenakukwazi ukukwenza kumuntu. Isikhathi sami sisebenzisana nabaseGhana, siqonda amasiko abo, sizama ukuqonda isandla sabaseGhana, sifunde ukubingelela amagama ngezilimi ezingaphezu kwezingu-4 - akusizanga nje ukuthi ngiqonde iGhana kangcono, futhi kwafaka umqondo wemfanelo kanye necala. Umthwalo wokuba ungalokothi uhlezi endaweni futhi umuzwa wecala ngezikhathi engizange ngigxilise ezweni lami langempela, ngingazishiyi izindawo zami zokuhamba.
Ngangizibophezela ukuba ngize, ngizokwenza isikhathi esilahlekile. Ngajoyina i-Visit.org, isiteji sokuhamba nge-intanethi esinika amandla abagibeli ukuthi bahlanganyele futhi bazicabange emiphakathini abazoyivakashela ngezinkambo ezihlinzekwa yizingenzi-nzuzo ezisekelwe kulezo zifunda. Ukuze uthathe isinyathelo esisodwa ngaphezulu, ukuvakashelwa kwezokuvakasha kuhanjiswe emuva emphakathini ukuxazulula izinkinga zomphakathi. Ngithole i-epitome yalokho engangikufuna ukuhlangabezana nakho konke okuhamba kwami.
Ngami, kwakudingeka ukuba ngiphume ekhaya ukuze ngikwazi ukukuqonda. Kwelinye izwe lapho ulahlekelwa khona ekhaya kakhulu futhi kimi, kwakungaphandle kwelinye izwe ukuthi ngaqaphela ukuthi singalokothi sithathe izwe lethu elicebile nelingaqondakali kalula.
