Our guest today is Desmond Beddy, who is a Ghanaian community consultant and social entrepreneur based in Hamburg, Germany, and also a self-published author of the book: The History of Ghanaians in Germany. We talk about how Ghanaians gain access to Germany and the various options available to them. We also talk about the social construct and how that impacts the life of Ghanaians when they come into Germany. So the role of the church, how do you balance your traditional values with the modern day value of the Western society? What are some of the common best practices when it comes to integrating a society and how do you make a  successful life once you're here as an expat. I hope you guys find this exchange useful.
