Comment:"I write to educate, to give hope to those who suffer and to make sense of the social injustice that I observe on a daily basis," says kaberuka. Indeed it's natural Darling educates girls on the responsibilities of womanhood while Has God forgotten me? Is largely her personal testimony of pain and triumph after that horrific car accident of 1987. And silent patience is a denunciation of social injustice.
