Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A grandmother who never attended school saw a future that others could not yet imagine.At only four or five years old, Fikeru Zewdie became a shepherd for hire in rural Ethiopia. His days unfolded among cattle, open fields, butterflies, family conversations, and responsibilities far beyond his age. Although the adults around him accepted this life as ordinary, his grandmother quietly believed that he belonged in a classroom.Her decision to protect his curiosity required courage, sacrifice, and an unwavering promise. That promise carried him from the fields of his childhood into school, professional life, and studies far beyond the world in which his journey began.The Young Shepherd for Hire is a deeply personal memoir about childhood responsibility, family loss, education, identity, and the people who recognize our potential before we recognize it ourselves.Above all, it is a tribute to a grandmother whose faith in one young boy changed the direction of his life.Sometimes, the future is something someone protects for us.
