- 2006, story by michelle:
"i was born in a village near kikwit,
east of kinshasa. when i was a child, in the 1970ies, my grandfather told be stories of kiteflying, when he was young. kites, he said, must to be like a "white gown" (dress, shirt.. silk..). a kite must be very light and needs a long line for to fly. kites were used to carry news from village to village, as an alternative to drumming. and, kites were also a sign of peace and a symbol for communication. (michelle lives in germany since 30 years now) . [txm.2006] |

I have just recently found my very first playmate. We haven't met
since may 1955 when I was 5 and he was 8. He told me that he had been
playing with a kite as a boy, but the problem in Africa is that kids
usually don't have time to play: the need to work like fetching water
and logs for the fire. |
