The River
 |
During 2009, Men at Ngwala’s Galiamble Mens Recovery Centre talked about changes in their lives, as like crossing a river.
The reflections were put into a book of poems. Some were read onto a CD. Some were put to music.
This webpage records reflections on the poems. It has been put together to give feedback to the men. We also hope that people will learn from each other’s experiences of dealing with drugs and alcohol and other changes in life.
Copies of the book can be downloaded here. Copies of the CD and other information can be obtained from Ngwala.
If you would like to give some feedback, we are interested what the words mean to you.
Would you like to respond? Your comments will be added to this page, unless you indicate otherwise.

What stood out for you in the poems? Which ones caught your attention, or moved you most?
- WOW. How do you separate one or another? This is awesome work!
Did you get an image of who the group is? What is important to them? What they are going through?
- An individual journey with a team of family who support and care. The spirit connects.
Did it remind you of something in your own life?
- Yes. Much and many experiences. Brothers in the cause.
What will you be taking away?
- The work continues. We can all help.
