Snail Mail
Ghana Revisited
HANGE
has changed the life of Fati Enusa of Ghana, the vendor who was featured in
our March-April 2005 issue.
I visited Accra, Ghana, on a business trip on
12 March, 2005, little realising that I would meet the same vendor again. As
luck would have it, on 14 March, 2005, I was in the same market on a street
in Accra with our dealer, when I spotted Enusa. I was pleasantly surprised
to see her, and was pleased that she recognised me. Since I was carrying a
copy of the magazine, I showed her her photograph. She screamed with joy and
attracted a small crowd, many of whom congratulated her.
She was elated by the publicity, simply ecstatic, and asked to keep the
copy. As she went back to work, she felt a sense of achievement in life.
After all, she had become a mini celebrity and, as someone from the crowd
commented, "She has appeared in an international magazine!"
