Making Dreams Come True

Lying in my bed on the first night of our visit to
Johannesburg last week I said to myself: is this true?
Can we really be here? Is this a dream come true?
I am a teacher and the chair of the village council in
Maltahohe in the dry Hardap region of Southern Namibia
at the entrance to the Namib desert. Long before I
became a councilor, I started a home for abandoned
children. There is a high rate of alcoholism and gender
violence where I came from. This is made worse by a
high rate of HIV. There are currently 382 children in the
home that I started, out of a village of 4000.
