Description

What if we were all given the same opportunities? Perhaps her poor mother could afford to send her to school, instead of being forced to let her live her young life playing Big Sister. Perhaps she could have a chance to strengthen her backbone with knowledge instead of the weight of her sister. Perhaps she could learn the basic building blocks that make her dreams come true. But… Life is just so disproportionate. The poor stay poor with rags of their dreams hanging on their souls while the rich get richer and sleep on silk dreams within a dream. Life seems so unfortunate, especially down here in Africa where Makanaka* perhaps could grow up to be a nurse, lawyer, engineer or the mother she dreams her kids should have. Only if she was given the chance to grow out of the darkness that hides opportunities from her. _____ *A Shona name which means - God you are good.
