One in 4 000 people in our country is affected by albinism, an inherited condition presenting as a lack of pigment, affecting the eyes, hair and skin. People living with albinism are particularly vulnerable to skin cancer and a range of eye problems that can lead to blindness, but beyond having to take care of these issues the most crippling impact on their lives is the lack of awareness and acceptance by society. We are incredibly fortunate to be spending time with the Mokhesi family, daughter Mamelo, mom Eunis and dad Shadrack. The family shows us that while bringing up a well-adjusted, confident teen with Albinism should be challenging for parents and child, it isn’t in this family. @EOTO_SABC2 www.facebook.com/pages/Each-One-Teach-One-on-SABC2 Each One Teach One is a show for parents and teens facing social, health and developmental challenges in their family relationships and social environments. This season introduces Professor Khalil Osiris as an agent for positive change in the lives of youth, parents and educators. He offers immediate and sustainable behavioural change interventions.
