When my father died, his second wife didn’t want me anymore. So, my uncle took me to his farm in Ghana. Then my uncle died too.
That’s when I began to pray. I asked God to make my life better. I told God that I really wanted to find work.
I’m often lonely. My grandmother is the only person I have left, but she lives far away.
