| Erica, Andrea & Elise with Africa Unite folks |
I was fortunate to celebrate Human Rights Day with
some old
friends from Africa Unite. Our day was filled with singing, dancing,
mural
painting, and marching through Nyanga to spread awareness about
gender-based
violence. It was a very rewarding day, as I truly felt part of the
community. I
was in awe of how many young people attended the event, and the work
they had
prepared for it. Many of the kids had songs, dances, and short
performances to
express how they felt about this issue. It was inspiring and encouraging
seeing
how much love and support there was from all members of the community-
men,
women, children, and adults. The day ended with trying a South African
speciality- chicken feet! I was unnerved at first, but eventually ended
up trying it and even sort of liking it. My apologies go out to my
vegetarian mother! I hope to continue my involvement with this issue
as well as the relationships I have made within Africa Unite.
