Older profile Introduction.

<About Homepage Background Photo>

I attended the IGC35 in Cape Town in the fall of 2016 and had always wanted to visit Robben Island, a World Heritage Site of a former political prison off the coast of Cape Town, where the famous Nelson Mandera spent 20 major years of his life as a prisoner. I wanted to know what did Nelson Mandera see every day, who spent 20 years of his life in solitary confinement on this island. My wish was finally granted.
