Vlog No. 6 – Tembisa day 2 by Josh

Today marks the first actually day of shooting. We visited with Moses, one of the 10 kids from the workshop in 1998. Today we definitley got a more intimate view of Tembisa and what life in the township is really like. We were greeted with wide eyes by the township children who were very interested in the cameras. They all wanted their pictures taken and would basically stare at you until you took their picture.

Tembisa as a whole is mostly a shanty town. Most of the homes are made from scrap metal and various materials sort of thrown together to create shelter. Some nicer brick houses were being built in areas but for the most part things seemed to be in disrepair. There was a large sense of community and we were warmly greeted by a majority of the people everywhere we went.
