Valiant efforts are made by families who have no access to medical facilities. Dodo makes several attempts to connect an IV drip to his sister. Her mother doesn't always have the money to buy the medication in the local market for her dqaughter's condition.

Signed and dated bottom right, from the series 'Angola' - Until 2002, Angolans had been at war for more than five decades - first against the Portugese, then amoungst themselves after independence. Millions of Angolans fled to the capital with no thought other than to avoid the fighting. Arriving in Luanda the heat enveloped me like a barber's wet towl. Wealth and poverty live side by side. Children play in the smouldering refuse which is eventual;ly extinguished by the rains that turn the unmade streets into rivers the colour of milky coffee. During my stay the daily high points were my encounters with Angolans. Even though the peace contnues to hold, most to to bed filled with uncertainty. The most often repeated word: confuso (confusion) - all is not as it seems.
