Sun Rising in Kambi
Fresh out of high school, Ndombi dares to chase a different path in Kambi slums. He forms a theatre group to escape the lure of the Baghdad Boys gang. A chance encounter with an injured Indian girl turns his life upside down, as it tests his loyalty to his family and friends. As tensions flare and betrayal creeps into his inner circle, Ndombi must decide what, and who, is worth fighting for. This is a gripping tale of affection, ambition, and resilience set against a backdrop of slum life, where Ndombi pays the cost of dreaming big in a world that demands one plays small.
Reader Comments
Through deft prose and sharp dialogue, Ndavula pulls the reader into the sensory and psychological worlds of two friends who share a love for theater and a life in the slums. While seeking out opportunities to fund their play, they befriend a kid from the nearby affluent neighborhood at which point the socio-economic disparities in their home city are made glaringly real. With each unexpected turn, each setback, we are rooting more and more for the show to go on. Both entertaining and richly layered, Sun Rising in Kambi offers a tale about the love of art, the power of friendship, and the hope that drives dogged persistence. A must read. - Michael Don, Professor of English at George Mason University and author of Partners and Strangers.

Sea Prayer by Khaled Hosseini
Brief summary
The #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and And the Mountains Echoed responds to the heartbreak of the current refugee crisis with this deeply moving, beautifully illustrated short work of fiction for people of all ages, all over the world.
A short, powerful, illustrated book written by beloved novelist Khaled Hosseini in response to the current refugee crisis, Sea Prayer is composed in the form of a letter, from a father to his son, on the eve of their journey. Watching over his sleeping son, the father reflects on the dangerous sea-crossing that lies before them. It is also a vivid portrait of their life in Homs, Syria, before the war, and of that city's swift transformation from a home into a deadly war zone.
Impelled to write this story by the haunting image of young Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy whose body washed upon the beach in Turkey in September 2015, Hosseini hopes to pay tribute to the millions of families, like Kurdi's, who have been splintered and forced from home by war and persecution, and he will donate author proceeds from this book to the UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) and The Khaled Hosseini Foundation to help fund lifesaving relief efforts to help refugees around the globe.
Khaled Hosseini is one of the most widely read writers in the world, with more than fifty-five million copies of his novels sold worldwide in more than seventy countries. Hosseini is also a Goodwill Envoy to the UNHCR, and the founder of The Khaled Hosseini Foundation, a nonprofit that provides humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan.
