When Mohamud was five, his father was killed by a snake. A wise uncle then suggested that Mohamud, alone of his family, should go to school. Mohamud had to sleep on a rush mat, eating little but pancakes and doing his homework by moonlight. But he discovered the joy of reading books and developing a keen appetite for learning. In his teens he began the studies that would enable him to seek a new life in the west. Finally, after years of hard work and many disappointments, he qualified as a doctor in the UK, where he now lives and practises.view less
