one’s life outline

I spent the weekend watching ‘The Last King of Scotland’, ‘The Blood Diamond’ and ‘The Constant Garderner’.. What do they have in common?? Well, they are all based in Africa and for all that matters to me, they pretty much rerflect the political conditions in Africa now and then..

I don’t know how and when this started but now I have a strong passion for politics, culture and society in Africa. For some weird unknown reasons, I have the strongest desire to work in Africa.. Well not necessarily work, but I wish to make a contribution to Africa, no matter how insignificant that may be.. And I am not talking about Pretoria or Johannasburg (is this how it’s spelt??). No, I’m talking about rural sub-saharan villages in Africa.. Away from any sort of civilisation and modernity.. Try to change and affect the lives of those torn away from loved ones by conflict or war.. Wow, suddenly I sound like a hard-core idealist..

I don’t care about the position I will hold if I do get the chance to live (and work) in Africa. I can be a cleaner for WFP, for all I care.. Or I could even be wearing a UNICEF cap.. Aming.. Oh what a dream I have..

Oh well, just a thought
