Pa James: “He is a great man. I still work with them. Whenever they call, I am always available.
When he first approached me about Papa Ajasco, I thought it would only last for a short period, maybe two or three weeks, but it turned out to be a long-running project.
They never owe us any money. Whatever work we do, we get paid. Even for meetings, no matter how brief, he compensates us.
I was very happy when we marked the 25th anniversary of Papa Ajasco.”
Interviewer: “What would you say is your greatest achievement from being part of the show?”
Pa James: “I am grateful to God. The benefits have been immense. Financially, the project has been very rewarding. I was able to buy a car through my work on Papa Ajasco.”
