Odaiba, Tokyo. This was the day after we arrived in Tokyo. It was raining so we decided to wander around the futuristic type buildings in Odaiba. Very impressive, even in the rain.

27-84


27-84, originally uploaded by Sheriss.

This is a picture of my 84 year old grandmother's hand next to my own. Taken with my camera phone. My grandmother almost died 4 times last week. She is diabetic, usually in a lot of pain, her sugar levels fluctuate and at times she hallucinates as well as having severe memory loss. Somehow during her lucid moments she still retains a good sense of humor. She said that last week she went to heaven (or hell she is not certain) and they turned her away because they have no space and she is back with us again and won't be dying just yet.

Little boy

This little guy is one of the kids at the Lambano Sanctuary children's home in Johannesburg, Gauteng where some of the BHP Billiton Manganese staff volunteered last month.

Lambano provides care and support for children impacted by HIV. They are currently caring for 25 children infected with the virus. In addition they are actively involved in helping families impacted by HIV in the Katlehong township. In the near future they will be opening a hospice to minister to sick and dying babies.

I had a wonderful opportunity to take photos of this little guy on Sunday at a picnic. Had not seen him in a few months and he already has 2 little teeth. He is about 6 months old now.
