Manage episode 446423872 series 3309921
David Ssewanaya grew up in a small Ugandan village where he attended school and worked on the family farm with his 22 siblings. Rick and Evan sit down for a conversation with David as he shares details of his journey toward becoming a United States citizen. They discuss the challenges of learning English, securing a first job, and bringing family together in America.
This episode has so many amazing stories. From fending off wild animals with a spear to seeking medical treatment from a witch doctor, you will probably have trouble recalling a moment in life when you faced similar inconveniences. That said, you may count that time the internet went down for ten minutes if it makes you feel better.
So, please sit back and enjoy a first-account comparison between a small village in Uganda and a small town in America because they are nothing alike. Then, after listening, go about your day with a renewed appreciation for some of our basics, like plumbing, electricity, and running water.
