OK, I have some questions:
1. How was your presence received? I believe that we have all heard stories about Africans not being very... hospitable (for lack of a better term) to Black Americans. Is that true? Did you have that sort of experience?
2. Although you already brought it up, but do you believe that the poverty is "glamourized" for TV? I mean, we see the "nekkid" kids and the flies and stuff, but is it really like that?
3. Did you have a chance to visit any of the schools? How did their education prepare them? What type of job opportunities are they provided?
4. Did you see the effects of the AIDS epidemic firsthand?
5. Are Africans very spiritual people? What religion is practiced there?
That's all for now. I will think of more to post later....
