Insightful, candid, and amusing, this book traces her journey from a village in western Namibia travelling alone to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 1962; her medical training in Poland, Sweden, and London; and the health and education centres in Zambia and Angola that she helped develop and run for Namibians in exile. The book also follows her victorious return home in 1989; her service in the cabinet of independent Namibia; and her leading role in the World Health Organisation. Courageous, committed, cutting through difficulties that deterred others, Libertina Amathila has assisted and empowered Namibian communities, particularly women, in exile and at home. As Minister of Regional and Local Government and Housing, Minister of Health and Social Services, and Deputy Prime Minister, she focused on those in need, such as squatters, street children, and those affected by HIV/AIDS, and undertook immediate practical measures to improve their lives. Packing her tent and supplies, she drove to remote areas and camped out until houses and clinics were built for marginalized communities, assisting in the design and construction process herself. An indomitable spirit drives this remarkable woman. This is her story.
