Young Voices of the Nile A Collection of Stories by Children of Uganda by Jacinthe McCurdy

The book is a collection of writings and short stories by the sons and daughters of the 'mamas' who work at a small orphanage in Jinja, Uganda. The 'mamas' are the Ugandan staff of this orphanage and this affectionate title reflects their dual roles as mothers to their own children and as the primary caregivers. The orphanage (Amani Baby Cottage) cares for newborns, babies and toddlers whose parents have either died, abandoned them or are unable to care for them at this time in their lives. Note: 100% of the net proceeds from each sale of this book goes to helping Ugandan and other children.
