Hafiz Jamu visited us. He is the chief of one of Ilha district's confrarias, or muslim brotherhoods and is extremely charismatic, young and dynamic, and keen to work with NGOs to improve the prosperity of Ilha. You can see him on our film (link on post of Dec 10th).
Antoine, on the right, is the linchpin of our project on Ilha. He befriended Jake, Luis Filipe, Luis Bernardo and Heinrich all separately, who are, head of TechnoServe, revered Mozambican historian, ex Minister of Culture and published author, and international investor and Ilha lover. They now all form our steering committee.
Here Hafiz discusses with Antoine the dispute over those behind the Ilha cultural festival, to hold it during Ramadan, thus giving Ilha islanders the choice of drinking alcohol at the festival and break Ramadan's rules of deprivation, or miss the festival.
