Facing the Lion in Northern Kenya

The literacy rate is higher for the males then the women. Fewer young people attend secondary school. The health profile is mixed, mostly because of the heavy impact of HIV. The life expectancy has also fallen although it is rebounding in the past few years. HIV has claimed the lives of at least 1.7 million people in Kenya. In 2011, an estimated 49,126 people in Kenya died of AIDS-related causes (that is really sad). The main character is Joseph Lemasolai Lekuto and was one of a handful of children that went to school. Joseph Lekuton was born in a hut to a tribe of Masai nomads in rural Kenya. Has anyone read this book? If not you should.

    This is really sad! i wonder why AIDS-related deaths are so common in Africa! Im glad it is not like this in the United states because 49,126 is a lot of people to die! This book sounds really good and interesting. I read a little about it and how she has to face her fears and go against the holocaust i guess you could say. Do you think it would be hard to be her? why or why not
