"I want to get back to a life in Namibia filled with community, ritual, face-to-face work and school, family gatherings, play, adventure, travel, joy and hugs.

 For the last 18 months Covid-19 had come like a thief in the night and has robbed all of us of human connection and closeness! We have lost so many precious Namibian lives. Our tiny nation cannot afford to lose anymore loved ones. Let’s all do our part and get vaccinated so we can slowly get back to a life that brings us joy and human connection! "
