The Bethsaida Orphan Girls Secondary School seeks to help the ?most vulnerable of Tanzania's children. Founded by Mrs. Anna Machary in 2005 under the auspices of the non-governmental organization, the Olof Palme Orphans Education Center, the school currently enrolls over 130 orphan girls from all over the country, providing them with free housing, meals, psychological support and a quality secondary education. This book features short stories by thirteen students and has the dual purpose of being a fundraiser for the school and giving the girls a voice. It is a unique and enthralling work of fiction, Their Voices: Their Stories ranges from magical realism to fable, from historical fiction to bildungsroman. Under the professional and passionate editorial guidance of Maryland professor Julie Wakeman-Linn, this collection sings of the fears, anxieties and dreams of young Tanzanian women, who pray their education will be the golden ticket out of lives filled with poverty and abuse. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed April 12, 2017) 650 0 Children's writings, Tanzanian (English) 650 7 FICTION / General.|2bisacsh 650 7 Children's writings, Tanzanian (English)|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01762669 700 1 Wakeman-Linn, Julie,|eeditor. 710 2 Bethsaida Orphan Girls' Secondary School. 914 ocn974239515 994 92|bGTK
