A crash course in changing the world.
When sun rises over the world in 2020, an old woman in Ghana will come in front of her home, she will stretch her arms and her body and then she will go to the stable to see if the baskets her daughter filled the evening before are still OK. Of course they are. Are little smile comes over her lips and she goes back to her home, to make a little breakfast for her and her family.
During she goes back she fells happy. She knows that she has a better live than a lot of other women in her age in Ghana. She must not work anymore. She only had to feed the chicken and to help her daughter with cooking.
Her daughter got a Micro-credit some years ago. And she did well with the money. Now she has a field and good instruments to work on it. And her daughter can pay a day labourer when she needs help. Her grandchild’s will come home today in the evening. They are in school the wh*** week, but today is Friday and the bus brings them home.
Ah, here comes her daughter, she is a little bit nervous. “Good morning mum, Mr. Cole is coming in some minutes to fetch the baskets. He gave good money. He said that he has a new acceptor and asked if I can produce something more… I think we should buy another field, what do you think?...” The old women smiles, her live was great!
At another part of the world, on a Friday in 2020 an Afghan girl wakes up. She looks to her window; some small sunrays come through the shutters. And it was friday. She waited so many years for this day. Today she will get her diploma! She had well done in school and in two weeks she will go to the next big city to start her on-job-training at the city council…
Her mother comes in and she smiles to her daughter… she is so happy, but also so sad, that she must let her go. She got a donation some years ago, which makes it possible for her, to offer her daughter education and now a flat in the city so that she can have her on-job-training there… Her little girl… she becomes a little woman now…
