I was like coming back and never found my way again!!! COngratulations for your entries... keep going!
I'm sad to hear that you are still searching for something to fund a life.
What kind of job are you searching for? Maybe we have someone from your area here on this site (maybe a passer-by) who has an idea where to apply?
I mean, we better try, don't we :-)

P.S.: In the meantime, there is my very sad&bitter jobseekingpoem good for some more frustration on

I'm very pleased to meet you here on this site.
I agree to your future perspective on children.
If I may ask: Do you have own children? The boy in the picture?
I have two sons (7y, 3y), the elder is already right here in this project with his refrain for Ouma (also see his page: http://www.sawubona-musicjam.com/profile/Jannimann). That refrain is open for other children as well, so we'll make them a funny worldwide bunch. Andreas is also working to get a Kindergarten at Berlin join this project, so more children become part of this cultural exchange.

Hi Otiato,
it's sad that you missed the Poetry Contest, but I can imagine that we ask to Sawubona Musicians to pick out poems which are able to create songs out of it.
We also try to find wellknown German actors to read Poems Of Good Hope (Audio & Video podcasts).
Maybe you know some musicans or people who know musicians which you/we could invited to Sawubona?
So please stay tuned!
Thanks and best regards,
Dieter
I really like your poems

Hi Otiato, welcome to Sawubona!!!
Of course the first Poetry Contest is over, but we will prolong the possibilities to create poetries - also to use them for songs or ask actors to read "Songs Of Good Hope" poetries (videos & podcasts). So it would be great to read your poetry.
Hi Carsten, bin heute seit langem mal wieder auf Sawubona gewesen. Hast du die Geschichte mit den Digital Musicians schon gesehen oder getestet? Wie geht es so, was macht die Musik?

by Norman DarwenThe first four tracks encapsulate Arkansas-born Billy Jones. ...a wicked, raw, live version of Albert King's 'Personal Manager', 'my Hometown', a bleak, stark portrayal of the ghetto set to a busy but laid-back and bluesy musical commentary that epitomizes what some have defined as his "gangsta bluez" (...though it is perhaps even better on 'Ain't Good Lookin'), the rocking, rollicking, down-home, and subtly Howling Wolf inflected 'Blues Comes Callin'' and the bluesy/ reggae…See More
