A Short Afua Story: “I was born into a very big family in Ghana. Growing up, I didn’t have shoes, had my haircut very short and just enough to eat. When my mom took me to Germany in 1989,  I realized how poor we were living back home in Ghana. Nevertheless we were still content with what we had and didn’t complain about the five miles we had to walk to school every morning. I remember when I ate chocolate the first time, I was eight years old. The irony is that Ghana exports 70% of the world cocoa production. Therefore, I can’t and won’t complain about any thing or any type of situation I might get into. I know it could be much worse than it is right now. I’m very grateful for what I have and will always do my best to appreciate my life and good health and capabilities.”
