January 25, 2005 --  Meet Aferdita


We would like for you to meet Aferdita (50), the mother of two children studying in America.  Her husband is retired military, now the director of the city orphanage.  She is very intelligent, a great cook (handed down from her grandmother), and splits her time between homemaking and accounting.  She gets up at 5:05AM every day!  Her home is a tidy (and tiny) apartment.  She and her husband hosted me (David) for several nights of food and lodging in my early visits to Albania dating back 11 years.  One thing we sadly share in common are kidney stone stories (recurring for her).
 

Does your name mean anything?
My name is like the name of a planet.

What was the most dangerous episode of your life?
The most dangerous event was when I gave birth to my first child as I experienced a difficult delivery.

When are you the happiest?
I am very happy if I talk with my children and they are healthy and doing well in school.

What is the best job you have had?
The job I have now as an accountant is the best job I've ever had.

What makes you feel rich?
I feel rich having a nice family with Christian faith and all being saved by God.  I also have very good friends that make me feel good too.

Give me the name of your favorite pet & why was it your favorite?
I had a very wise cat.

What is your favorite season of the year?
Spring

What is the best advice your father gave you?
My father taught me to have respect, to work hard, to respect my family and my friends.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
I would like to go to America because there are my children and some of my best friends.

Who is the person you most respect in the world?
My husband.

What do you think of Albania?
Albania is my country and I would not trade it with someone else, but unfortunately yet, we have not found a good leader for making this country developed like other countries in the rest of the world.

What is the name of your favorite television program?
"Reality," to know what is happening in Albania.

What do you think for Albania's future?
