VANESSA ~ REVISIT
Vanessa was born in Nyasaland, spent her early school years there leaving at the age of 8 with her parents. She recalls it as a very happy time and consequently was keen to re-visit and revive her memories of those days. So, in October 2010, more than just a tourist, she took it upon herself to organise a collection of bras which she delivered to be put to good use by those ladies of Malawi whose priorities are more towards food than personal comfort. Her pictures below are of that re-visit, not only the bras but also a reflection of the advances in the country since her days there as a child. |
