We'd like to extend our most heartfelt thanks to everyone who came out to see us! We loved meeting each and every one of you and appreciate all of the support. Under a Zambian Treeis the inspiring and emotional account of one woman’s quest to educate and empower rural village children. Dora Moono Nyambe – or “Teacher Dora”– began with no funding and no school building, just an unwavering belief ‘that kindness should drive humanity and development.’ From preventing child marriages, navigating village politics and reaching millions of supporters online, Teacher Dora’s epic journey from mud hut to full-fledged boarding school is a testament to her incredible resilience and tenacity. Readers will not only be inspired by Dora’s story, but will finish reading feeling empowered to initiate positive change under their own “Zambian Tree.”
