isubilo this week

staying at a gorgeous farm outside ndola this week. so nice. spending days at isubilo - a orphan and hiv community care project. i'm writing the stories of some of the children and taking their photographs and visiting their homes. it's eyeopening but so rewarding to see them and talk to them in their own environment. starting to see the kids as real ppl - it's hard to imagine, from my perspective, that ppl live like that all their lives and know no different. remarkable. on saturday some of the older girls are going to braid my hair so when i get to scotland and the US i'll look as african as i'll probably ever look (tan won't have faded hopefully- tho its hard to tell if it's a tan or just a layer of dust.

feel so dirty and thoroughly looking forward to a swim when we return to the farm. have posted photos at other site: www.travelpost.com/travel/sunburntdaisy.

will try and add more recent ones soon as those are all from the first week really.
