Come on a journey - come on Safari! You'll discover about what it's really like to live in Africa. You'll be more than a tourist as you travel through desert tracks and deep jungle with your trusty four-wheel drive friends. They're the ones who help you out when you're struggling through dusty sand banks and forging through muddy rivers. But watch out for the broken axels and burst tyres. Landrovers have a hard time of it in Africa. However, when we arrive at our destination it's not the cars that get to work but the missionaries. They're the only ones building clinics, reaching out of the way tribes and helping the helpless as they safari through Kenya with the Word of God.
Lorna Eglin is an AIM missionary in South Africa. Her years in Kenya brought her into contact with many Maasai girls just like Nosim. Though Nosim is fictional she is based on real life Maasai girls that Lorna worked alongside during her time in Kenya. These girls went on to be teachers, nurses, and secretaries in modern Kenya. One is the first Maasai lady doctor. Another the wife of Kenya's ambassador to Japan.
This is a really good book with christian teaching in an interesting context. It has humour and I particulary thought it was good for girls to read as it clearly shows how women serve God. I loved it! Recommend it for a christmas present!
