Day 17

Today I met Dr Cival Mills. He has come to stay with us at Guinjata for a few days as he visits his old friends Lynn and Zelda. Zelda and Lynn taught Cival to dive through an organisation called Amaglubglub. Cival has a rare condition called locked in syndrome which prevents him from moving any muscles in his body except those that control eye movement but he is completely aware and communicates by way of keyboard. My dyslexia made our conversations today a little slow but we got by alright!

He is an incredibly inspiring man and I urge you to read something a bit more elequently writen about him: http://www.civalmills.co.za
