I was a missionary in Africa, and I learned many things about myself and the world around me.
I learned that friendship is the most important thing in the world.
My African friends and neighbors were full of beauty, ingenuity, wonder and courage.
They were the pictures and definitions of these words.
I found this book, I Am A Girl From Africa by Elizabeth Nyamyayaro, in the new book section of the library.
She is a beautiful, ingenious, wonderful and courageous writer and the book is like the author, like the African people, and like Africa itself.
Please read it!
“I am familiar with and have lived an African narrative that is not a simple story of poverty and despair, but one of hope and perseverance in the face of any challenge, coupled with a dogged determination to make life better for everyone.”- Elizabeth Nyamayaro
