We live in a society where death is quite distant to many of us. Many people I know have only been to a few funerals in their whole lives. The situation is very different in Lesotho. An estimated one third of the population have hiv/aids which meant, that even in the short time we were there, we saw numerous funerals taking place. Saturday is the main day for holding funerals, so for many people a significant number of weekends each year will be taken up with attending funerals. Not a very cheery thought for a Sunday night, but this is the backdrop to the work which Robyn is now developing in Lesotho.
