       Nelson's Dream, written by J.M Newsome, is worth reading. It

tells that Nelson Mbizi was main character who returned to his home in Southern Africa After he finished studying hotel management in Britain. Soon, he know about some children without their parents. And then, he tried to help these orphans who lived in a poor town, Sector D. It also explains that Nelson joined in Sector D community, and tried to treat for people with HIV. In Mavadza family, the oldest son, Eddy, got a job in garage. The second son, Daniel, got little money from singing. Lily Anne and her baby brother Blessing were sent to the hospice. Soon, Blessing dies of the Aids who was passed from his mother. After that, when Nelson tried to help a family of orphans he met Viki who was a South African TV presenter.                                                                              

          Also, it recommends that the story of Nelson and Viki's relationship which was told against a background of HIV/AIDS and the government corruption. Similarly, It makes me think of my country about the government is corruption. In the story, I like Nelson, because he is a kindhearted person who helps people of the AIDS.  At the same time, it is worth for people to read this book, since it tells people need to leave from Nelson, because he is a good sample who tries to help people.
