Hitching Rides on Magic Carpets: And Other Stories on How (Not) to Get Mugged in South Africa

Description

This is an adventurous graphic story about pursuing dreams, murder, surfing, learning new cultures, and a ride on a magic carpet over Table Mountain. Mike is the artist for this graphic story and it is based on his own experiences at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. He encountered a traumatized culture. A fellow student is murdered. The citizens grieve and show reveal injured souls and a remarkable generosity of spirit. Half of the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to SHAWCO – The Students Health and Welfare Centres Organisation based at the University of Cape Town, which organized Mike’s volunteer teaching opportunity at Mitchells Plain.
