About this ebook
This book was born in order to help the children living at Nyumba Yetu, a shelter for orphans and for those affected by AIDS.These tales have been collected year after yearamong the Ismani’s villages, on the central upland of the Iringa region, in Tanzania. Many people have believed in this project and visited many villages to listen to these tales, copy them out, translate and illustrate them for this book. All these people have somehow lived the so-called Ubuntu, the African philosophy that says: “I am because we are”.This book has been realised by all thosewho have worked together with love and passion to help these children.
