Seeing the face of homelessness | George Herald

GEORGE NEWS - A young medical student at the University of Cape Town had a life-changing experience during her sixth and final year of medical studies last year. 
Ellen-Marie Trautmann undertook a community project that aimed to listen to the life stories of the homeless in George, and learn from them.
Trautman was inspired by a suggestion of Dr Hermann Reuter, the coordinator for UCT's final-year medical students in the Garden Route, to record the stories of the homeless and learn from them. 
"I had always wondered how the homeless became homeless and what experiences they had had on the streets," said Trautmann.
