RE: Nnika; The Role Model

It is an interesting story from the perspective of a culture that is still bound to some traditions in regards to the role of women in the community. The culture of the European is seen as a path to a more successful life and though the people are willing to embrace this new development, they still believe that only boys should benefit. To be fair, this was also the attitude in European countries where women were not allowed an education. Women's role was basically to take care of the home and children. In those European cultures, there were also women who had a strong will and educated themselves, paving the way for other women to follow. So, in spite of their differences, the two cultures have some things in common.

This is a very entertaining story that shows how perseverance can lead to a successful outcome.
