Don't know if your mom mentioned them or not. The first is called: The bottom billion: why the poorest countries are failing and what can be done about it...I read it this summer, it is some interesting analysis of poor countries, mostly african, based on statistical work done at the world bank. It helped me make more sense of things. There is another about Rwanda called something like: I would like to inform you that tomorrow we will all be killed with our families. I am not sure if that is exact, but you will be able to locate it based on that information. That is a sad book, and it rather slams the western NGOs, but still an interesting look at the region and an attempt to make sense of the atrocities. Also, I note that the Open Society Institute (I work at the Open Society Archive---all George Soros) has an East African branch in Nairobi. Here is the URL: http://www.soros.org/initiatives/osiea Oh and btw, have a great adventure! So, I have two books to recommend. Don’t know if your mom mentioned them or not.
