Freedom instead of security, adventure instead of routine, and above all, fulfilment instead of prosperity. The true and moving story of Nicole Mtawa, who searched for the meaning of life and found her calling in Africa.

As a single mother, Nicole now faces the challenge of making the world a happy and carefree place for her daughter and providing her with a life that is meant to be better than a dream.
