NNE From Tanzania - Paperback

by Dennis Gladwell (Author)

There are thousands of children in East Africa orphaned from either malaria or HIV and thus left to deal with the improbabilities of a disinterested world. This is their story told through the eyes of three little girls--Moja, Mbili, and Tatu--who bravely, hilariously, and often cluelessly face life on the Serengeti. Their struggle is intertwined with a mysterious fourteen-year-old girl named Nne, who, like hundreds of girls in Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya, "leak" from a vaginal fistula. Together, the girls must travel to Addis Ababa so that Nne may undergo a life-changing surgical procedure. Come with us as we join the journey of these courageous little vagabonds across the plains of Africa from one Masai village to another, from one harrowing escape to another, all within the context of a true-to-life story never before told.
