NELSON'S DREAM

      This book is called Nelson's Dream, the author is J.Newsome, the story is setting in Africa, and the main character is called Nelson Mbizi, he returns to his home in Kurupenda,  the capital of Gomokure, a country in southern Africa, after three years in the UK studying hotel management. He immediately gets involved in the problems of his country when the Mbizi family’s housekeeper asks his mother for financial help for some children she knows. They live in the poor township – Sector D – where she also lives, and have recently been orphaned by AIDS. 
       In the meantime, Nelson has been working with the Sector D community. They have restored an old bus garage to turn it into a centre where the young people can meet but also learn about and be treated for AIDS/HIV. He is particularly involved with the Mawadza family, who have been trying to get along without their parents. Daniel earns a little money singing, Eddy gets a job at a garage and Nelson gets Lily Anne and their baby brother Blessing into a hospice, where Blessing soon dies of the AIDS his mother passed on to him.
               The story ends relatively happily for this group of people, with Daniel having his first concert appearance with top singer Kundai, Viki and Nelson starting a relationship and the Garage working for the   community. 
                This book is pretty good, it demonstrated what actual Africa looked like, poverty,diseases and hungriness are the things what they were facing everyday, and the main character, Nelson, he served to these communities, even though his parents disagreed about that.The book is showing the positive scenario of their society, people need to help them, not avoid them, and it is also what Nelson's dream!
