During my visit to Africa, I went to a village in Ivory Coast called Sinfra. I saw happy kids who followed me around, smiling and full of curiosity. I was sitting with them, cracking a few jokes, and teaching them some basic English greetings and simple sentences, which made them laugh at every practice on my part to pronounce a new term that I had taught them. Some would ask about America, curious to know what life was like over there. Somehow, the more conversation we got into, the more interested they became in America. The energy in Sinfra that month was filled with bliss and joy.
