We kwamen haar tegen op onze reizen. En haar verhaal raakte ons. Haar verhaal is een universeel verhaal over moed, levenslust en karakter tegen de soms beukende tegenslagen van het leven in.
I've been struck by her, now I follow her

This is my highschool memories video. I quit after third grade because we ran out of money, which I think is sad. But I’m still planning on getting back to it and get my diploma. There must be a way to do it!!

This is the story about how I lost my fiancee and got infected… This is the story about how I lost my fiancee and got infected with HIV.
Not much to say, just watch and see.
Doctortime
My doctor has become a close friend over the years. I go visit him often, I need to because he has to check if I’m still doing okay. Usually I’m doing pretty good guys. Obviously! You have all seen my garden and my basketbal skills; this girl lives a healthy life!! (For tips, just e-mail me ;))
I went to see him today and all is well, so that is great. I always feel a little relieved when he tells me that. You will meet him later in a video!!
This is my basketbal show. I am a little embarrassed since I got really bad over the past few years. I used to be quite alright actually! BUT it was a great workout. The dutchies laughed at me all the time and put all my missers in this video. I want you to know that I did score a lot more points than just these haha. I do need a lot of excercise still!!!
Afterwards I played a game with the dutchies and they are no better!!

HIV/AIDS talk group
Tonight I’m going to see my friends whom I regularly meet with. They all have HIV/AIDS and we talk about it and lots of other things. I am the youngest. In Africa it’s quite extraordinary to say you’re infected at a young age like mine. So my friends are a little old haha. Which I love, because that means they’ve got lots of wisdom too.
I’m very thankful for these people. They are so strong and joyful and they get me through bad days. LOOKING FORWARD!!
This is the story of how my dad died.

I usually ramble a lot with the videos but there’s not a lot I can say. Watch and see.

This is where we do the washing. I hate doing that, but on this photo it looks rather nice! I will keep it in the back of my head when I’m feeling sorry for myself whilst doing this tomorrow haha!
Jobs
Finding a job here is NOT easy! I live with my family and do things like washing, cooking, cleaning, babysitting.. But I don’t contribute to the house financially. However, I am supposed to. Especially because it’s not very common for a girl my age, to not be married and still live with family in the first place.
So I need a job. I’m thinking of getting one as a maid, but so far I haven’t succeeded. Thank you for letting me moan for a minute. Back to household now.
Poetry
I do write a lot of poetry and songs. It’s my favourite way to express myself and ventilate. I will try and get them on a USB stick so I can share them on the website. Which is scary!! Because you might think it’s silly and ugly.
I will post a video of me and my friends making music at some point. One of my most favourite things in the whole world. That will take a while, still. But I couldn’t help myself and had to tell you about it today.
Share your songs and poetry with me any time!
Veggies and Family. Don’t American celebrities show you their giant houses on TV? This is my house, and here I give you a tour! The twins, whom you’ll see at the end, are my cousins and they keep me awake at night a lot. I love them with huge amounts though. Somewhere on the website is another photo of them, that’s my favourite.
