What an amazing memoir. I was just a teen growing up in the Americas, not very worldly while all of this was originally happening. I can, however, remember news reports of the humanitarian efforts being made by various organizations. I remember supplies being dropped by air for the refugees but then seeing those supplies being stolen by the warlords so that they never reached the people it was intended for. The lengths that Dr. Abdi “Mama Hawa” went to to help her fellow Solami's is nothing short of astounding. The danger she faced for herself and her family was immense, and yet she persisted. She kept on and kept HOPE alive. Dr. Hawa Abdi is a truly inspiring woman that I hope to learn more about.
