“I visited a womens’ refuge while doing charity work in child protection in Uganda some years ago. A beautiful young mother with few possessions gave me a banana and a bead bracelet she had made from found paper on the streets of Kampala to support herself and her baby.
She would not allow me to decline, although I did try, and it would have insulted her so generous hospitality in her tiny dwelling.
I later made this drawing of her and her child. I treasure the bracelet still.”
