Preventing Famine : Policies and prospects for Africa


Description

Some urgent new thinking is needed if any lessons are to be learnt from the recent disasters. This book brings together the experience of a number of writers who have worked on, or studied, poverty alleviation programmes in Asia and Africa.

In this heartfelt memoir about her mother Hilda's final years, Joyce Rupp shares the lessons her mother taught her, especially to "fly while you still have wings." As a poor farmer's wife and the mother of eight living on rented land in Maryhill, Iowa, Hilda lived a life with hard labor and constant responsibility-from milking cows and raising chickens to keeping the farm's financial ledger. Rupp shows how the difficulties of her mother's early years and family life, including Nutritional Alignment(r) : Don't Diet, Align! download book the loss of a twenty-three-year-old son, forged a resilience that guided her through the illnesses and losses she faced later on. This affectionate profile of their relationship is, at the same time, an honest self-examination as Rupp shares the ways she failed to listen to, accept, and understand her mother in her final years. Rupp begins each chapter with a meditative poem that captures the essence of each stage in the journey. Her unfailing candor and profound faith illumine this story of a mother and daughter with a universal spirit of hope, reconciliation, and peace. Readers who care for the elderly will identify with the joys and sorrows that Rupp experienced.
