Every week this year for My Sunday Photo I've been focusing on construction projects mainly in Dubai and around the world. Today I thought I'd share some of the photo's from the townships in Pretoria where I've worked as a volunteer. I'm back in South Africa in September for 3 weeks and I'll be revisiting some of the places below.

It's common for people in townships to tap into the street lighting and run cables to their shacks to power a light bulb

People walk 4-8 kms a day to get fresh water every day
