Mmami

safrica

It’s a dark, empty, dirty room. As I enter I turn and notice a pile of blankets on the floor. As my eyes adjust to the darkness, I realize it is a body. A frail, thin, sick looking young girl; her eyes are sunken, her skin is the colour of ash and her chest rises with great effort. She is laying on the ground, with dirty blankets over her and next to her is a bowl of rotten peaches. Her name is Mmami and she is dying from aids. During our visit, prayers of Gods blessing are spoken over her life. Prayers of healing and hope are sent to heaven with authority. I am challenged by this moment in time her suffering is slapping me in the face. Is their hope in such a hopeless situation?

Bareback Rhino Tales

The survivors of Rhino-gate, approximately 10 minutes after getting safely back to camp

I decided to visit South Africa for 3 months of football coaching, sun, drinking and fun (although I only signed up for the coaching, they were adamant at the introduction that we were only allowed to drink during the weekends).
