The Digital Stories

While the rest of the group are planning and hanging the exhibition I'm finishing work on the digital stories.

We have eight and they're all pretty hard-hitting.
Gugu tells the story of her sister who died of AIDS - the first time she's told this story... Anna talks about getting pregnant when she was studying at college and how her family reacted to her news. Teenage pregnancy can destroy your life she says.
Jabu tells the stroy of how the jealousy of his teammates ruined his dream of becoming a professional footballer...Sylvia talks about poverty and her experience of it. Kgomotso talk about her disabled brother and his neglect and death...Vuyisile talks about his past as a criminal and how he changed his life for the better...Fikile tells the story of her abusive childhood...Bongi and Jabulile tells the story of alcohol abuse in their families.

All of these stories poured out of them.
