Hi Bram, I am deeply saddened to know that you are gone forever, deeply sad at all that you have given us teachings.
And a powerful tool with a fine and subtle intelligence as you was, particularly *rich in humanity*, for the children of Uganda and of the world as well as for us older children. A masterpiece that will remain engraved just like its author on this small planet. Courage to loved ones and family. We will miss you Bram.
