Sorry this one is lopsided. It's the famous poster of a man carrying Hector Pieterson's body during the Soweto protests. The woman in the background is Hector's older sister. "Only the Good Die Young"
"Leo Was Here!" This is one of the sights where "Blood Diamond" was filmed!
This is a group of residents from the Kennedy Road shack settlement that we visited. That structure behind them is one of their houses-made out of pieces of cardboard and what looks like blankets. They allowed me to take their picture because the group who brought us there wanted us to let people in America know about their suffering. These are "The Forgotten People of South Africa."
"Lord of the Valleys" Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?

Dear Ang,
Africa looks like a beautiful country. Your Dad was just talking about watching "Blood Diamond," I'll have to watch and see if I can pick out the scene that you pictured in your blog. From what you have said during our phone conversations it sounds like it rains rather frequently in the places you have been in South Africa, it has to be pretty uncomfortable for people living in cardboard shacks. Look forward to hearing more from you.
Love,
Mom
