Molly Melching will be counted as one of those important world women whose life and work made a great difference in improving the living conditions and future of millions of people. She is comparable to Mary Curie, Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Keller, etc. Her commitment, dedication, determination, and relentlessness allowed her to face and over come various sorts of odds and obstacles in order to secure better life and health to Senegalese girls and women, then extend the target to other African girls and women. Hers, is not only a success story of commitment and courage, but also of love for her fellow-humans. It is because of her care for Senegal and its population, a country and a people she immediately fell in love with on her arrival, that she dedicated her life to serve them.
Aimee Molloy's book succeeds remarkably in conveying the outstanding personality and character of Molly Melching, along with her sensitive feelings, ambitions, effervescence, wit, humor, courage, determination, and fearlessness!
As mentioned in the review by the Publishers Weekly, the book reads like an engaging novel, thanks to the very clever reconstruction by Molloy of thoughts and conversations among the main 'protagonists' of Meclhing's 'journey', and the events which took place during her young years as a child then a teenager, and after her arrival in Senegal in the 70s.
Another remarkable feature of the book is Molloy's amazingly clear understanding of Senegalese culture, traditions, sensitivities, and taboos. It didn't take her more than a year to reach such clear vision of a country and a society so drastically different from her own. Obviously, Melching must have been the one who helped to introduce her to the complexity and subtlety of African/Senegalese culture.
When most of world news and information - particularly those coming from developing countries - tend to throw one into depressing and dark moods, Molloy's touching and engaging book is uplifting and full of hope. By reading it we become hopeful and confident that the courage and hard work of just few key people at the right time could change the world into a better place.
Fortunately, for several years now Molly Melching's work, as well as that of "Tostan", the NGO she created, have been receiving the recognition they deserve in various forms. Aimee Molloy's book is the latest manifestation of this wide recognition, and I am sure, will be followed by others.
Finally, in addition to its substance, the book has an attractive and alluring front and back covers, with elegant design and wonderful photographs.
Great bag for the nagger guys. Make a great backrest. Comes off easy when your done, but not too easy that someone will help themselves. Allows you to put a smaller bag on your luggage rack and helps in keeping the center of gravity where it needs to be for those long trips. It is a big open bag, so organize when you pack.
BalasHapusFinally a bag that works perfectly on my dresser. Holds a ton, plus is an out standing backrest. Worth every penny
BalasHapusI used this bag on a trip from California to Glacier Park in Montana. It held everything I needed for a 10 day trip and was great to lean on for a back rest. All the zippered compartments on the outside were handy for holding camera and video equipment-no digging in the tour pack or saddlebags.The anchoring systems works great-no bungees to deal with and the bag is not going anywhere.I have a prothstetic leg and it even had room for a portable shower stool and extra leg parts. So glad I found this, it makes traveling for a few days so much easier.
