Packaged memories

My team member was Nokuthula Wathi.
Our first article was on the money spent by the R.A.F (Road Accident Fund) paying people compensation for accidents that could have been avoided if people where following the rules of the road. We also included some interviews with people who have tried claiming money from the R.A.F.

The second was on life after the accident. We looked what the R.A.F has done to help people who were victims of negligence driving. We also looked at how their lives have changed and how they are coping with all the sudden new changes.

The challenges of writing these stories was when we needed comments from N.G.Os and the R.A.F. Some of the victims also did not want to open up about what happened to them.

I enjoyed doing the second story because I was proud to see some of the things the accident survivors are doing with their lives. They have now accepted their situation and managed to turn a new leaf.

Its good to say that we passed both articles......yea were on the right track.
