This is an amazing story. Especially for an American to read. While I wasn't engaged the whole book (I skimmed some of it), the writing wasn't great (she's not a writer so I didn't expect it to be), and some of her statements about Americans seemed off target, misunderstood, or naive (typical socialism sentimentality regarding the rich in America), the story is amazing.
An 18-year-old girl, just out of high school left her privileged life to move to Uganda to be a teacher. She ended up starting a nonprofit organization to help send poor kids to school, help feed the starving, and some other amazing things. Her organization is Amazima Ministries and if you are reading this post, you should stop right now and go take a look at the organization. If not to financially give, to see what a 18 year-old girl is capable to starting.
While I found the book a little tedious to get through due to some personal dislikes of her style (won't go into detail as to not offend others), her story is inspiring.
I mean come on. She's 22 and has 14 children. Unmarried. Who isn't inspired by that?!
