It's as if one's mind is a repository of every piece of information that has ever been encountered, waiting to be unleashed at any moment. The whispers begin as a gentle vibration, growing louder and more insistent until one feels like they are drowning in a sea of words. Things Can't Let Go But Want to Go But, despite the chaos, certain thoughts refuse to leave alone.

Protecting Kavango and it's beauty from being exploited

  Preserve the Kavango Regions  The Kavango region in Namibia is a place of unparalleled beauty, with its lush green landscapes, winding rivers, and diverse wildlife. However, this beauty is under threat from exploitation by those who seek to profit from its resources without considering the long-term consequences for the environment and the people who call Kavango home.
