Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two small Ethiopian sisters were orphaned when their father took the family supposedly away from their home and through a dense forest to his parents home where they would be more able to eat there because it was in an area where the massive drought had not entered. Halfway through the forest, the family stopped to rest and the mother needed to breast feed the younger daughter Yodit while the elder child Meme foraged for berries in the area. Their father, looking at his family and their thinning condition, became overcome with depression and slipping a thin bladed knife from out of his sleeve, he approached his wife from behind and then plunged the knife into her chest just below where the child was nursing. Surprised, she looked up at him with a questioning pain, then fell back onto the hardened earth and the small child fell to her side. He ran off into the forest just as the older child viewed her mother on the ground and ran to her to see just what had happened to her. They spent the night lying on her stiffening body and crying. The next morning they were awakened by the loud grunting coming from a large Boar that had smelled their mother's blood and was now approaching them in a very threatening way.That same morning, two hunters from out of Addis Ababa, were on a hunting trip to try and find enough food from their hunt to last their families through the long winter months. When they heard the Boar's loud grunting, they just knew that he was what they were looking for. When they approached the clearing where the lifeless body and two small children were, they couldn't believe their eyes. The large Boar was chasing the children round and round the lifeless body trying to catch and kill them. Instantly, the two hunters drew their sharp spears and threw them with determined accuracy towards the charging Boar. Both spears hit their determined mark and the Boar dropped to the ground dead ! The two mall children, seeing the hunters approaching them in the clearing, ran to them and the two men picked up each one and began comforting them in their big strong arms. Taking them down to a nearby creek, they gave them drinks of the refreshing water, wasked their mother's blod from off of each one and then opened their lunch packets and fed them until they could hold no mote. Then they removed their own warm jackets and wrapped each child into them and took them back into the area where their mothers corpse was. Placing them on a large pile of soft leaves, the men them wrapped their mother's body in a blanket from out of one of their packets, then dug a grave for her in the clearing, placed her gently within the depth of the opening and then began covering her with the soft earth from their labors. They made a crude cross from two branches and then drove it into the ground above her head. Then, placing the large Boars body on a sling they had also fashioned out of two larger twigs, they slit its throat and permitted its blood to drain out to make its carcass somewhat lighter, then secured it to the sling with two cowhide straps. They each took turns carrying the two children and pulling their prized food and trekking off back towards Addis Ababa. Arriving there, they were greeted with loud barking from their dogs and loud screams whenever their wives saw the two small children they were carrying. They made over and over the two beautiful girls as their husbands related all of their experiences with their mothers dead body and their killing of the Boar just in time to save the children. They cared for the girls for several weeks while preparations were being made to take them over to His Majesties Orphanage that was being managed by a Missionary from the United States. Each child grew up there in a wonderful Christian environment until they graduated from the school there. Yodit earned her way performing household chores for different families while Meme worked in a bar, dated and then married a Cuban soldier.

Download or read book Where Courage Is Like a Wild Horse written by Sharon Skolnick and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dreams of a courageous Apache girl illuminate the hidden world of an Indian orphanage in this unforgettable story. Over forty years ago, Sharon Skolnick (Okee-Chee) and her sisters were removed from their Apache parents and became wards of the state of Oklahoma. She and her nearest sister made their way together through the Oklahoma Indian child welfare system. Shuttled back and forth between foster homes and orphanages, they finally ended up at the Murrow Indian Orphanage in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Here, Skolnick tells the gripping and ultimately triumphal account of the year the sisters spent there. ø Murrow was a place of wonder and terror, friendship and loneliness, where resilient children forged shifting alliances and conspired together yet yearned in solitude for a home and family to call their own. Skolnick paints an absorbing portrait of the world of an Indian orphanage, a world both bright and dark, vividly rendered through a child's eyes but tempered by the perspective of the woman who survived the Indian child welfare system and became an Apache artist.

Growing up in an orphanage, he meets young Lady Kirstyn, whose father is the powerful Duke of Hagenheim. Despite the difference in their stations, Aladdin quickly becomes Kirstyn’s favorite companion, and their childhood friendship grows into a bond that time and opposition cannot break. Even as a child, Aladdin works hard, learning all he can from his teachers. Through his integrity, intelligence, and sheer tenacity, he earns a position serving as the duke’s steward. But that isn’t enough to erase the shame of being forced to steal as a small child—or the fact that he’s an orphan with no status. If he ever wants to feel equal to his beautiful and generous friend Kirstyn, he must leave Hagenheim and seek his fortune. Yet once Aladdin departs, Lady Kirstyn becomes a pawn in a terrible plot. Now, Aladdin and Kirstyn must rely on their bond to save her from unexpected danger. But will saving Kirstyn cost Aladdin his newfound status and everything he’s worked so hard to obtain? An enchanting new version of the well-known tale, The Orphan’s Wish tells a story of courage and loyalty, friendship and love, and reminds us what “family” really means.

Download or read book Emily's Story written by Clark Kidder and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-28 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seems incomprehensible that there was a time in America s not-so-distant past that nearly 200,000 children could be loaded on trains in large cities on our East Coast, sent to the rural Midwest, and presented for the picking to anyone who expressed an interest in them. That's exactly what happened between the years 1854 and 1930. The primitive social experiment became known as placing out, and had its origins in a New York City organization founded by Charles Loring Brace called the Children's Aid Society. The Society gathered up orphans, half-orphans, and abandoned children from streets and orphanages, and placed them on what are now referred to as Orphan Trains. It was Brace s belief that there was always room for one more at a farmer s table. The stories of the individual children involved in this great migration of little emigrants have nearly all been lost in the attic of American history. In this book, the author tells the true story of his paternal grandmother, the late Emily (Reese) Kidder, who, at the tender age of fourteen, became one of the aforementioned children who rode an Orphan Train. In 1906, Emily was plucked from the Elizabeth Home for Girls, operated by the Children's Aid Society, and placed on a train, along with eight other children, bound for Hopkinton, Iowa. Emily s journey, as it turned out, was only just beginning. Life had many lessons in store for her lessons that would involve overcoming adversity, of perseverance, love, and great loss. Emily's story is told through the use of primary material, oral history, interviews, and historical photographs. It is a tribute to the human spirit of an extraordinary young girl who became a woman a woman to whom the heartfelt phrase there s no place like home, had a very profound meaning.
