Maisha Safari

Laurence Bollen, Mugisha, Delia Burggraaf

Mukisa was an inquisitive Muslim boy who was gradually brainwashed from when he was 8 years old to help recruit other children from the Kampala ghettos to become child soldiers. Mukisa has a close relationship with his mother Ayana and his true faith and refuses to accept the situation. When it becomes unbearable, escaping to Europe is his only option. This means leaving everything behind, including his mother and sisters. In Europe, he falls into the hands of human traffickers and is forced to sell drugs and his body. Despite this misery, he remains committed to his faith and sees the obstacles on his way as tests. Will he manage to escape a second time and build a new life? In this true story, the reader briefly walks in the shoes of a refugee. What is it like to be uprooted and have no choice but to adapt to a strange world? We are all searching for happiness. Take the Mukisa inside and outside of you into your heart. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie
