What suposed to be a small garden meeting with three ladies telling their stories became a big event with around 125-150 people. It was a great experience.....We invited 3 ladies to tell their stories, to come out and show other people that it is ok to talk about things happening in your life. First lady talked about her life and dealing with the fact she has aids. Second lady talked about her experience being rapped by 4 men. Third lady talked about her abuse in her youth, continued by her husband abuse and how he also molested her daughter. All stories that are reality but no one "should" know. With letting them tell the stories it will help them to talk about it but also let people think and start talking about their lifes. The ladies all spook in their mother language and was translated by a friend of us. By each story you could hear the people responde. It does not matter if your black or white these stories happen to a lot of people in the world. Although the stories were sad there was also time to laugh and ofcourse singing and dancing.
