Abe Mirza是个美国人，现年59岁，并已退休。他曾作为会计师受过培训。事实上，他在财务记帐方面有三个学位，并且具有20多年公司主管的经验。在他退休4年后，决定该是回报的时候了。

On the Internet, he found an economic development organization, the International Executive Service (Corps). This private, nonprofit group links volunteer experts and paid consultants with local business people in developing countries. It was established in the United States in 1964 as a Peace Corps for businesspeople.

In September, the International Executive Service Corps paid for (Abe Mirza) to travel to West Africa. He spent more than two months preparing for an intensive, two-week experience as a volunteer in Ghana. He went to (Accra), the capital, to meet with bankers and businesspeople.

9月份，国际经理人服务组织出资让Abe Mirza到西非去。他花了2个多月的时间来准备他的加纳之行，在那儿，他将作为志愿者进行为期2周的高强度工作。他去了加纳的首都Accra，与银行家及商人进行了会面。

From his early meetings he learned that the bankers wanted the businesspeople to keep better financial records. So he taught major accounting methods to eighty businesspeople.

从他的早期会面中，他获悉银行方面希望商家能够做好财务帐目。因此，他向80位商人传授了主要会计处理方法。
