It's been too long since I wrote something. Not that I don't have anything to say, just got too much going on at the moment. Today for instance I moved with Nkanyiso and Butho (both from Zimbabwe) to a new place in Muizenburg. I took some pictures with my cellphone. Now I have a lot more space and am able to find some peace and quiet after work. There is always a lot going on at Media Village.
I have written before I have a lot to do at the moment and that is good. One goal of Media Village is to give people a chance to do an internship in the graphics department (its only me so far). That would help me a lot. I have come to realize that I don't have enough time to really adjust to my new environment and it doesn't help to tell myself I have already adapted. It's not true. Everything about life is different here. I think its two things I need right now and that is patience and a church to go to. The church I will attend is very close to my new home.
Currently I am working a few projects at the same time. Oe of which is a documentary on three woman infected by HIV/AIDS. All of which come from the same township in Cape Town. They have very poor and broken backgrounds and in the film they tell their stories and talk about what gives them hope. My part is too prepare some photographs for the film and also create the cover design. A great thing to be involved in.
More to come soon.
Her are more pictures of my new place:
