O autorze

I was born and lived in Sukumaland most of my past life. Being from a christian family, I did not know what it really meant to be with albinism in Sukumaland. Through preparation of this work I have seen and felt the agony People With Albinism bear in the name of culture. I urge the world to stand against this evil.
