Mama Tina - The Christina Noble Story Continues

Zusatztext 'Christina Noble's account of her childhood is shattering and inspiring! a record of grief and courage that would wring a tear from a stone - the author's integrity burns white-hot on the page. No one could invent these details! few could survive them' Informationen zum Autor Christina Noble was born in the slums of Dublin city. At the age of ten her mother died, and her alcoholic father could no longer care for her or her siblings. In the years that followed she suffered physical, emotional and sexual abuse in orphanages and on the streets, and after her marriage she was the victim of domestic violence. One night she had a dream about the street children of Vietnam and decided to make it reality. In 1989 she set up the Christina Noble Children's Foundation in Ho Chi Minh city and in 1997 she expanded it to Mongolia. To this day she continues to devote her life to improving the lives of the street children.
