entry description
This is Johnny, born in the town of Kols in the south of Namibia. The only family he has left is his blind granny. He basicly lived on the streets to survive. Wild like an animal before he was taken to the orphanage Hope Village (Windhoek, Namibia). He wouldn’t bath, fought with every one and cursed a lot. Now he baths every day, fights a lot less and even says 'please' and 'thank you'.(Namibia has a total population of about 2.1 million people. It has nearly 120.000 orphans. 50% as a result of HIV/AIDS, which created gaps between generations.)
