Ilanga libetha ngo-Juni ngoLwesihlanu ntambama phezu kwentloko ye-Sana Alhassan, njengokuba wayithambisa ngokucokisekileyo ioli ye-shea ebhodweni elimangalisayo, phakathi komsi ovuthayo owawuthathaka emoyeni owawuthatheka njengethokolethi.
"Ngoku ukuba sisesikhathini sokuzila, ndizama kakhulu," u-Alhassan uthe ngenguqulelo. "Kodwa kuyimfuneko kakhulu."
U-Alhassan ungomnye wabafazi abangama-60 abaqeshwe kwi-Tiehisuma Shea Processing Processing Centre eTamale, esenyakatho yeGhana.
Sekuyiminyaka eyi-10, uye wavuka ekuseni ukuba athenge i-nati ye-shea, aze atyunde, agayiwe, agwebe, asomile, axubane kwaye axoke ama-kernels ukuze ahlawule iifizi zesikolo zezingane zakhe.
U-Alhassan ungomnye wabasetyhini abasemagunyeni abaphefumlelweyo kwimizuzu yam ezintandathu kwiGhana njengombhali weendaba kwiNyuvesi yaseNew York. Ndithatha imifanekiso, ndacela imibuzo eninzi kwaye ndava amava amnandi kangangokuba ndaziqonda iintlungu zabesetyhini kunye nendlela ababethelela ngayo imihla ngemihla. Yayivuyiswa ngokupheleleyo.
Kodwa kwakungekho nto entsha. Ukuze ndiqiniseke, ndahlala ekhongeni likagogo ngexesha lexesha lamabali ngaphambi kokuba ndilale embhedeni ubusuku bonke, ndabuyela kwidolophu encinane eNdiya . Wayexelele indlela abahluphekile ngayo kunye nendlela abadala beentsapho basebenza ngayo emasimini uze ungakwazi ukwahlula ulusu lwesundu sakho ekutsheni. Makhe ndithethe nje, loo nto yayimfanekiselo omkhulu wokufaka intloko eneminyaka emihlanu ubudala.
Ekubuyiseleni, kukho izinto ezininzi endingazibuza ngazo. Intombi yethu yemifuno yafika emnyango wethu inqabileyo enkulu yemifuno efanelekileyo efanelekileyo kwintloko endikufanele ndigijime ukuze ndimncede. Andizange ndithathe imifanekiso yakhe. Andizange ndibuze kuye ngobomi bakhe. Andizange ndizibuze kuba kwakuqhelekile.
Kwakuyinto engapheliyo kwaye ndandixakeke kakhulu ngecala likagogo kwinqaba, ndincenga ngokukhawuleza ukuba angathenge i-okra.
Kwiminyaka emveni kamva, apho ndaye ngasenyakatho yeGhana, ngokusoloko kwintlambo, ndilambile amabali athile awakhumbuza ngawo abo ndiphosakeleyo.
Abantu bathi kubalulekile ukuhamba kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo ukuqonda ihlabathi. Ndiya kuthetha ukuba ukuhamba kwam kubonakala kubalulekile ukuze ndincede ndiqonde ikhaya lam.
Emuva eIndiya, umama ungumjozi wezinja. Unayo ikhaya lokubeleka kwaye ezininzi izigulane zakhe zihamba ngeyure okanye ezimbini ngezothutho zorhulumente ezikhuselekile ukuze zifike esibhedlele ukusuka kwiidolophana ezikufutshane. Umphefumlo onomusa entliziyweni, kaninzi uzinikela iinkonzo zamahhala kunye namayeza kubantu abahluphekayo abafuna unyango kodwa abanakho ukuhlawula. Ndakhulela kwisibhedlele, ndiqwalasela ukuhlinzwa kunye nokuhlala kwiingxoxo kwiintsuku ezingenamsebenzi.
Kodwa bekude ndandwendwela iklinikhi yamahhala kaDkt. David Abdulai, uShekhina eTamale ukuba ndaqonda into eyenziwa ngumama. Ndandwendwela phakathi kwezixhobo ezivulekileyo ezinamaqhina amancinci ahlala kumaqhenqa, izigulane ze-HIV / AIDS, abantu abakhubazeke ngokwengqondo nangokwenyama kunye nabanye abantu abasweleyo abafumana indawo ephephile noDkt. Abdulai.
Ubona izigulane ezingama-30 ngosuku, ikhululekile ngokupheleleyo kwiindleko, kwaye akazange abuze nabani na ngemali okanye nayiphi na enye iminikelo.
Ewe, andiyikuqhathanisa ukunika umama kukaDkt. Abdulai. Kodwa elo lixa ndithe ndalijonga kwaye ndiphulaphule uthetha ngomsebenzi wakhe wangenza ndaziqonda: onke amaxesha umama owayichitha uxhalabisayo ngokungabi namali eyaneleyo mhlawumbi wayefanele ukunyamekela awanikezele ngeenkonzo zokucwangcisa zentlalo kunye nenkqubo yokucoca. Kutheni enye into ayengayenza loo nto ekukhanyeni kwamacangci angqinileyo?
Kungekudala ndabuyela e-Accra, ndihamba ngezitrato eziseMarkla ezitratweni phantsi kwelanga elitshisayo laseGhana. Iziganeko, abantu kunye neengxoxo endizikhumbule ngayo ngaphambili zibonakalise phambi kwam, njengenene nje njengengubo ye-Wax yaseDutch eyayibhalwe ngaphandle ngaphandle kwesitolo.
Kwathathe iikhilomitha ezili-10 000 zokuhamba, iminyaka engaphezu kwe-10 yokungaboni ukuhlalutya kwam ukuba ekugqibeleni ndiqonde apho ndaye khona, nalapho ndivela khona.
Ekupheleni kwenkqubo, ndabuyela kwiSixeko saseNew York ngokuqonda kangcono okokuhamba okuhambayo kumntu. Ixesha lokusebenzisana namaGhana, ukuqonda amasiko abo, ukuzama ukuqonda isandla seGhana, ukufunda amagama okubulisa ngezilimi ezingaphezu kwe-4- akungandinceda nje ukuba ndiqonde iGhana bhetele, kwaye kwafaka ingqiqo yemfanelo kunye necala. Uxanduva lokuba ungalokothi uphinde uphinde uphinde uhlale unomdla wecala ngamanye amaxesha andizange ndifake ngokuqinisekileyo kwilizwe lam, ndingabikho ndwendwela kwam ukuya kwam.
Ndandiziva ndibophezelekile ukuba ndize, ukuze ndifumane ixesha elilahlekileyo. Ndajoyina i-Visit.org, iqonga lokuhamba nge-intanethi elinika amandla abahambi ukuba bahlanganyele kunye nokucoca kwiindawo abaya kuzwendwendwela kwiihotele ezinikezelwa ngongeniso-mali ezisekelwe kule mimandla. Ukuthatha enye inyathelo elongezelelweyo, intlawulo yezokhenketho ihanjiswe kwakhona kuluntu ukuxazulula imiba yoluntu. Ndakufumene i-epitome yale nto ndifuna ukuba onke amava am mahambo abe.
Kwaye, kwakufuneka ukuba ndihambe ekhaya ukuze ndiyiqonde. Kwilizwe lasemzini xa ulahlekelwa ekhaya kakhulu kwaye kum, kwakusemzini kwamanye amazwe ndaye ndaqonda ukuba andizange ndithwale ihlabathi lethu elicebileyo nelingummangaliso.
