Umlazi Township

Spent the afternoon with some brilliant children in Durban's largest township...
Orphaned by AIDS or abandoned because they're HIV +
45 kids live and attend school in these three rooms
Typical temporary dwelling-- it takes years (and sometimes countless Rand) to get a more permanent shack

Savory Start

Airport self-portrait


Stuck behind Flavor Flav in security line at Heathrow en-route from NYC to South Africa.  Took a while for him to remove every piece of bling and put it in in the bin.  In the end he opted for the wand, so he didn't have to take out his gold caps and send them through the x-ray.  One of the security officials didn't know who he was and asked her colleague why he, "needed both a watch and a clock."
