Oops - I forgot to journal this when I first read it. Pre-numbered labels will be the end of me yet...

This was a short little piece by Bill Bryson, written as a fundraiser for CARE in Africa. It was well-done, and provided Bryson's personal insights and thoughts about day-to-day life in the places he visited. Short, but worth reading.

Yay! Another story from Bill Bryson, and set in Africa, as well! A double-decker treat!

This slim book is basically just a lengthy advertisement for aid relief and organizations such as CARE International (who commissioned the tome), but Bryson brings to the task his characteristic wit and anecdotal voice, making the book a quick and delightful read. The stories are not so fully developed that it will break your heart for the conditions of people living in east Africa, but there are just enough touches to give you pause and food for thought. I yearned for more than just this short article.
