PETER FRANTZ
Peace Should Not Be This Fragile: A Portrait of Panzi
Mama kwa mwanawe, mtoto kwa mamaye
(A mother is for her child, the child is for its mother)
particularly the mother
who always keeps faith with the earth
who feels the brunt of men's desire for conquest and power
whose strength is measured not in years but history
who carries us away when the world is burning
who God depends on to complete the world
