Great shot! My children were all carried like this when they were little. If a baby is grumpy, put it on your back like this and get on with your housework, and it will be really happy!

This photo was taken in the huge township of Kyayelitsha, Cape Town. I have been a fan for a long time of the wonderful work done by the Monkeybiz project. They provide work for ladies in Township to make beautiful, crazy, inspired animals from beads. I love these bonkers animals, and as an HIV counsellor I am very keen to help any projects which support ladies with HIV. I contacted Monkeybiz before our visit to Cape Town, and was able to accompany the manager on her visit to collect the latest batch of hand made animals. This is a photo of some of the ladies completing their animals.Editing
