In a Maasai village in Tanzania, Herman was born into a life of responsibility, tradition and hardship. This shaped him profoundly; building resilience, determination - and a heart to ease the suffering of others. But how could someone living in poverty do that?
Discover what it's like to grow up Maasai, live in extreme poverty and learn how one boy's desire to help the poor can grow into hope for not only his local community, but his country and beyond. A true story of perseverance, faith, and the power of education; that teaches us that no matter who we are, we can make a difference.
