SELLERS IN GHANA: Why Do They Tend To Frustrate You?

sellers in Ghana

So I just returned from a trip to Ghana, and I must say it was an interesting one.  The trip was not to go and have fun, but instead to bury my mother.  But of course after the burial, we took some time to drive around town to see how far our country has developed or should I say undeveloped!

The ordinary Ghanaian struggles on a daily basis to make ends meet, and you do not dare to ask for a price of an item from a trader at the market or by the road side, and not buy. Those who sell by the roadside will run and follow your vehicle even after you have told them you wouldn’t buy the product.

They don’t understand that it is allowed to ask for a price of an item, and not buy it.  And those who sell on the market will stand in front of you for minutes pleading that you buy something from them. Geez, must I buy something or anything just because I asked for the price?.

As much as I feel bad for them for having to make ends meet by either walking or standing all day in the hot sun, I think their behavior can sometimes be a bit overwhelming and stressful.

Menaye School Of Hope Hosts Sports Stars Italian Football Legend Christian Vieri And Tennis Star Mara Santangelo Make Dreams Come True In Agona Asafo

MenayaCharityEvent 30 05 13 -36903

Philanthropist and Development Queen of Agona Asafo, Menaye Donkor, last week hosted Italian football legend, Christian Vieri and tennis star, Mara Santangelo at the Menaye School of Hope in Agona Asafo.

Christian Vieri famously played for the Italian national side as well as many top clubs including Lazio, Juventus, Athlético Madrid and Inter Milan, and together with former professional tennis player and winner of the 2007 Doubles at the French Open, Mara Santangelo, made their first ever visit to Ghana last week. Earlier in May, the sports stars were among the hundreds of high profile guests to attend Menaye’s ‘Together For Hope’ charity gala in Milan, and since the event, the pair have personally committed to supporting the Menaye School of Hope and contributing to the lives of the children in the small rural village of Agona Asafo.

On Thursday, Christian and Mara accompanied Menaye to her home town where they visited the Chiefs of Asafo to pay respects before heading to meet the excited children at the Menaye School of Hope and share a once in a lifetime opportunity with them. These children, who without the support from the Menaye Charity Organisation, would not be able to afford to go to school, saw their wildest dreams come true as they met the sports legends and were treated to an entire day full of awe inspiring displays of talent and special coaching sessions with the tennis ace and football hero.

During his visit, Christian Vieri said:

“I was touched by Menaye’s effort at bringing hope to the less privileged in the country, hence my visit. I am really excited to be associated with this charity project and looking forward to meeting the kids of the School of Hope. Education as you are aware is very important, and I hope to encourage them to take it seriously after my visit.”

Menaye Donkor praised the two icons highly for availing themselves to support her and thanked them for their priceless gift to the children:

‘I am so grateful to Christian and Mara for their kind and generous support this week as I feel it has truly made an impact on the kids lives and I hope that this chance has inspired them to pursue their dreams despite their humble beginnings. To see them smiling, laughing and having fun together in such a care free way as they play sports was such a beautiful thing to witness. The kids will remember this day forever as it was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for them. I just hope that this day will help them to know that they are cared for and loved, and that their goals and ambitions, no matter how big, are achievable if they work hard enough. I want to thank everyone who has made this day possible especially Christian and Mara.’
