Author: Robin Wiszowaty
Opportunity isn't a chance; it's a choice. And the choices we make ultimately define the paths our lives will take.
Growing up in suburban Illinois, Robin Wiszowaty never pictured herself hauling water on her back four times a day up a dusty footpath, or living in a tiny hut made of cow dung. She never pictured herself meeting terminal patients in an AIDS ward, playing with starving street children in Nairobi?s slums or white water rafting down the Nile?s crocodile-infested waters.
Yet in her early twenties Robin embarked on an incredible journey that would shake her from complacency, take her to unimaginable places and change her life forever.
Follow Robin's remarkable voyage as she joins an impoverished Maasai family in rural Kenya and travels through some of the most remote areas of East Africa.
With a foreword by Marc and Craig Kielburger, and full colour photographs from her unique adventures, Robin's heart-wrenching story will spur you to question your own priorities as she seeks new definitions of home and community.

"Robin Wiszowaty paints a wonderfully vivid picture of her African adventure. The reader is immediately hurled into the beauty and poverty of this historic land. We are challenged to compare the comfort of the modern world to the serenity and simplicity of life in a Maasai village. A beautifully written story that will keep you enthralled right to the very end."
