David Owusu Kyenkyenhene is a Ghanaian who has relocated to South Korea for five years.

He said that until he moved from Ghana to South Korea, he could not take good care of his five children, but now, he is able to save GH¢30k monthly.

"I have left my wife and children in Ghana for five years. At least I can take care of them now that I am in South Korea. Initially, my children sometimes missed school because I did not have money to pay their fees. Now I save about GH¢30k every month," he said.

Leaving his wife and children behind

David said in an interview that due to the financial hardship, he thought of travelling to seek greener pastures and therefore spoke to his younger brother, who was already in South Korea then.

I learnt to be a plumber and later learnt to fix tiles. But I was not getting any contracts. My younger sibling was already in South Korea, so I told him of my hardship, and he helped me come join him.

In the video on SVTV Africa, David said he left his wife and five boys behind to provide for the family. The dream of giving his family a better life made him determined to work and make money.

David does not expect to stay in South Korea all of his life. He hopes to travel and settle in Australia someday.
