Michael and Bridgette Abtar moved with their two lovely children moved to GHANA because they fell in love with the land and the people when they visited in 2017. They felt the connection between Jamaicans and Ghanaians and knew they were home.

-Finance.
The Best thing about living in GHANA has been:
Just how welcoming the people are. Most Ghanaians you encounter will go out of their way to help you in whatever way they can.

The optics of the children sitting quietly at the dinner table while listening intently as their parents spoke of opportunities in Ghana and other issues was, in my opinion, simply priceless.
As a black American this really made me smile!!
As a black American I appreciate seeing stories like this. The continent has always been portrayed in such a negative light so it's refreshing to see these positive stories about Africa. Cannot wait to visit!
As a Jamaican am so proud of your decision to live in the motherland Ghana very peaceful i heard my brother went there and he loved it there.
OMG that young boy!!! HE IS BRILLIANT! I'm over here in the U.S. carving away at my plan to go to Africa and this just warmed me immensely. Energized me. Brought me to tears seeing how that young child/those young children expressed themselves. What an upstanding video this is. I have been influenced by this video. Thank you Odana Network.
My heart surged with pride when the children first spoke. They are thoughtful and incredibly articulate which is a tribute to the efforts of their parents. I sense that the family is a confident and secure unit and I look forward to hearing more about their success. The Rwanda cleanup effort is transferable, one neighborhood at at time. On our street, we have improved the roadway by banding together as neighbours. We can improve sanitation as well. Let us all make Ghana the place we want it to be neighborhood by neighborhood, instead of complaining about its shortcomings.
Not negative stories for years, but for centuries! It's Africa's time to shine.
Reparations for me would be having the USA send me to Accra and supporting me for the rest of my life. I am over 85 years. I have been retired for 23 years and cannot afford to move out of the USA although I have never felt that I belonged here.
Those children are so well spoken and bright. I’m so happy for this family. Ghana is very family friendly and safe so it’s a perfect fit for them.
Africa is the home for all blacks not the western countries this family is one of the most positive ones I’ve heard who have moved to Ghana they appreciate the country for what it’s and they’re making the most of it stay blessed my brother and sister I loved the kids they’re so smart I love Ghana so much my first visit I never want to return to the🇬🇧 Uk 👍🏿
I think the brothers and sisters in African they really don’t know how rich and powerful is the continent of Africa. This family is so beautiful. Thank you to share the history of this gorgeous family.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful… Ndewo (welcome) to Africa from ya Nigerian 🇳🇬 sister
Lovely family . They make me want to start a family ❤️🇿🇦🇬🇭
Wow I am from Jamaica and I felt proud of my Jamaican there and how they spoke so proud offinding peace and love in Gauna
What a strong Father with a perfect family structure. What intelligent children. Well spoken children who are bright and super intelligent is like a black family on show. The home is fabulous and the kids are growing up in a wonderful environment.
It is sad that more western black families are not together as these people are. The children are well disciplined and sat quietly, listened and learned. They are well spoken and very smart. Good job Mom and Dad. Yes, Africa has always been portrayed in a negative way. I have learned so much from young CZcamsrs how people really live. Great interview. I have spent most of my life in Canada and I feel honoured when I go to the Caribbean and my friend's children who are in their thirties plus call me Auntie. No one calls me by my first name. It is either Miss __ or auntie. They respect us and we have to respect them in return. When will the oppression and exploitation end.
Sometimes life isn't about riches or prosperity... it's about living in a space where you don't intrinsically question your existence and always have to prove your worth. Life in the diaspora is fraught with identity crises. Really appreciate the honesty in this conversation!. God bless!
Thank you Sister for sharing this beautiful family with us in Black America. The children are absolutely adorable and BRILLIANT!!! As more of us return, Ghana and Africa will grow by leaps and bounds into an economic beast. 🙏🏾✊🏾💪🏾❤️🔥🔥🔥
Wow! I hope everything they touch turns to gold. What an absolutely remarkable family. 🙏🏾
