Ossas

At the southwest corner 15 kilometers away from Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, there was an aboriginal village isolated from the politics of the country.

It was a village with an enchanting name – Bergland Village.

It was a village enamored with festivities such as dancing and singing.

In the region five kilometers west of Bergland village, there was the mother river which supplemented the life of several nearby villages – Bergland River.

Every morning, plenty of young men from the village woke up before daybreak carried jars on their heads as they made their way to the river to draw water.

According to local culture, the early mornings were when the river water flowed like morning dew. It was the time when the river water was at its purest and sweetest.

In the group of countless members drawing water from the river, Ossas was one among many of them.
