It's fascinating how close half siblings from the fathers side are, among Awaambo people are. I find it beautiful. Very unheard of in Nama culture. Where I'm from folks mostly acknowledge a sibling they share a mother with.

I've done so many stories of suffering, but yea the things I saw at Mpungu Vlei in the Kavango West region broke me, people shouldn't live like that in a coutnry with the kind of resources we have. I think of Mpungu vlei, Otjikondavirongo and Omega sometimes..

Abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks? Shirley Chisholm

Teaching my boss something new about the LGBTIQ community, and the other day I taught her about reverse bisexuality and she looked a little traumatized. So I think I am going to take a break from the teachings this week....

Over the last month, three teachers died by suicide in the Ohangwena region. We have a mental health crisis in this country....people feel hopeless.
