Over the month of December, we, being myself, my husband, our son and my in-laws, visited the beautiful Country of Namibia. When I say Namibia is beautiful, I mean it is GORGEOUS! There is something about the colour of the sand and the dunes, and the vegetation. I love the way some of the houses are built on the hills, just like in Hollywood, California. We spent our time in stunning hotels, and even stayed a couple nights at the fabulous Erindi Lodge Safari, which took my breath away! To me Erindi was paradise. However, nothing would impact me like when I found myself on the streets of Katutura. The poverty overwhelmed me. We think we know what it's like until we step foot in it. I must say however, that Katutura, in spite of it's desperation, was beautiful in its own right. The residents were always smiling, laughing, dancing and full of the Spirit. The kids were running around the streets, playing in the hot sun. Music would be blasting while some danced in the streets. How could you not find this beautiful? Everyday I am reminded of how fortunate we are, allowing my perspective on life to be influenced by this very intimate trip to Namibia.
Namibia has the potential to be an outstanding Country, and with all it's resources, there should be less poverty. I would like there to be more done for those in need.
I have began writing a couple songs about my experience in Namibia. My goal is to complete these songs with accommodating music videos, shot in the Streets of Katutura where I am able to hire the locals as actors.
I want you to see the beauty through my eyes.
Let's continue to help each other one person at a time, one idea at a time, one dream at a time.
Love HunnyB
