About this book

Beatrice's Dream: A Story of Kibera Slum by Williams, Karen. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781847800190.

Beatrice is a thirteen-year-old orphan in Kibera, Nairobi - a Kenyan shantytown built on refuse and rubbish and one of the biggest slums in Africa. In this book she describes her life: her walk to school, the dust that blows between her teeth and the mud she wades through, her teachers down-to-earth encouragement, her fear of being alone, how safe she feels at school... This sensitive account in words and photographs reveals the realities of life for some of the worlds most deprived people - and offers hope as Beatrice follows her dream ? to be a nurse.
