| Introduction | Am from a land down south of the Mother continent, Africa, where people still live in harmony with the earth`s elements. Where wildlife gracefully roam the high and low velds, where serenity and calm cloak the land in brilliant sparkle of diamonds, where the only thing which supresses the beauty, is the experience of being there..Botswana is where I am from. |
