Hey everybody! I’m still back in the states. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how life back in the US is and what the future holds, so I’ve linked to an FAQ up top that y’all can check out to get a bit of an update.

So less than a week after I left, Mozambique had its first confirmed case of Covid-19, and since then the virus has slowly started spreading around the country. While it still has yet to reach Zambezia, where I was living (or at least there are no confirmed cases in the province), there is no doubt that it will arrive, and barring some miracle, it’s going to have some really devastating consequences. Due to the lack of medical infrastructure, the high immunocompromised HIV+ population, and the lack of privilege to make behavioral adjustments we’re fortunate to be able to make here in the US, puts them at an incredibly high risk for the disease. Because of that, my friend Tony da Luz and I have started a go-fund-me to work with local authorities to help provide personal masks and to implement other mitigating measures in our small town. There’s a couple videos on the page that will give you more information about the project, and I’ve linked the website both at the top of the post in the white button, and below at the bottom of the page, so check it out. Please consider donating, if not to help some people near and dear to my heart get the medical supplies they need, then to get a thank you capulana face mask made by yours truly. Thank you so much for your generosity.
