Description
Hi! Thanks for reading my profile.

My name is Ahmed. I am originally from Sudan and grew up in the United States.

I signed up for workaway for the opportunity to learn language and culture in the most immersive way possible--living in it! I love learning about different societies because I grew up around more cultures than most people see in a lifetime.

I want to provide my skills and teach to anyone who can benefit from them, and in exchange I want to learn about your language and culture. I mainly plan to use workaway in Japan, but from what I can tell from what I've been reading about people's experiences I hope to use it as I journey around the entire world.

More details about your skills
I am a college graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in Japanese language & culture. I speak Arabic as well.

I am someone who will put his full mind and effort into anything I do. If I have experience with something, I will utilize what I know to get the job done as perfectly and efficiently as possible unless I'm told otherwise. If I don't know how to do something, I will admit it and (thanks to god) I am a
quick learner and love to learn new things.

My technical skills include Graphic Design, Software/Coding, and pretty much anything to do with technology.

My physical skills include strength (lifting/moving heavy objects), stamina, and attention to detail. I am very physically fit and can help with almost any labor intensive task whether it's cleaning, farming or remodeling.

Ahmed was an excellent communicator and his Japanese language ability was at a good level for daily conversation with us. When we first met, he thoughtfully brought gifts for us following Japanese custom, which showed his respectful and considerate nature.

Yudika San, Rie San, and Harun were some of the kindest people I have met in my life. After my experience of staying with them for about 6-7 days in August, I truly learned to appreciate my own parents on another level. May Allah increase and guide every single one of you for showing so much patience with me, treating me as part of your family… read more (which is not easy to do and I know this from my own experiences of hosting), teaching me the ways of farming and living sustainably and humbly, Rie (mainly) and Yudika teaching me Japanese with such great stories and enthusiasm and dealing my broken Japanese at the same time :), and being examples and role models that I will always remember and follow from for the rest of my life.

The environment here is otherworldly. You can see the oceans, the fog, and the mountains in your field of vision all at once. This family works hard to maintain their multiple fields of rice, other crops, and even chickens! You can just tell that there is so much Barakah (blessing) in all of it. I will never look at a grain of rice the same way after sweating in the field like that. It really wasn’t hard work depending on what you’re used to, but you learn to appreciate the things we take for granted in the city.

I thoroughly enjoyed our daily schedule. Yudika and I would wake up in the morning to pray Fajr on time in Jama’ah together, suit up and head to work on the farm while the sun was rising and the fog cleared, go have breakfast after a couple of hours of rewarding work, and do various other simple tasks. Regardless of what we would do together there was always barakah in it which brought me nothing but peace.

On other days, we would go do something special like going to “Heaven on Earth” as Harun liked to call it 😂. It was a net cafe with billiards, darts, and unlimited drinks. Or we would go to a restaurant, swim on the beach, and much, much more that I will not say so I don’t burden Yudika-San and Rie-San lol.

I had the best time with Harun as well, who reminded me so much of my younger brother in his curiosity, cuteness, honesty, respect, and genki-ness!

If you are considering a stay with this lovely family, make sure to bring a gift or two because they deserve it :).

May Allah increase you Yudika-San, Rie-San, and Harun. Jazakumullahu Khairan

P.S. If you have any questions about the experience, feel free to message the family. I can also be a resource for you, so feel free to message me while I still have my membership.
