Wata:  A personal reflection upon the consequences of ancestral neglect 

(This was written for a competition.  Unfortunately, I did not win 😉 , but I received great feedback.  The competition also gave me the opportunity to put into words something that I had been thinking about for a long time.  I hope you enjoy it.  Also, please, note that I recognize in the document my apostrophes may be missing.  I apologize. I am not certain why the document has turned out like this in Scribd.
