A young man named Emmateh found himself in a charitable organisation called Don Bosco. In Don Bosco he encountered some white salesians who came from different parts of the developed world. In Don Bosco Emmateh gained scholarship to go to Australia and study theology. Australia invented a unique medication to modify his intellect. His way of thinking, his imagination and his wisdom. The drug empowered him to propose a fantastic idea in a paper he wrote to the Secretary-General of the United Nations. He called the idea “The Future of Humanity.” This idea gained popularity worldwide. Finally, there was a huge campaign and support to bring his idea to life. Now, find out about Emmateh and his great idea.
A young man named Otenfeh did not like living in Kono—the eastern province of Sierra Leone. Therefore, he escaped to the capital city Freetown to join a charitable organisation called Don Bosco. In Don Bosco, he encountered with some white salesians who came from different parts of the developed world. The salesians visited Kono with Otenfeh. They were warned indeed, but without thinking about the consequences, they wilfully broke into a secret society called the poro society. That was forbidden. Guess what? They were captured and held as hostages. It was a clash of civilisations. A clash between the Western civilisation and the primitive organisation of one part of the world. The rest of the other salesians in Don Bosco in Freetown have to work together to set free their captured mates. Imagine how they will do that.

*A NEW YORK TIMES HUMOR BESTSELLER* By the author of I Like You Just the Way I Am and a frequent Chelsea contributor, an outrageous collection of personal stories about motherhood, responsibility, and other potential disasters. Jenny Mollen is a writer and actress living in New York. Until recently, her life was exciting, sexy, a little eccentric, and one hundred percent impulsive. She had a husband who embraced her crazy—who understood her need to occasionally stalk around the house in his ex-girlfriend’s old beach caftans and to invite their drug dealer to Passover seder (so he wouldn’t feel like they were using him only for drugs). Then they had their son, Sid, and overnight, Jenny was forced to grow up: to be responsible, to brush her hair, to listen to her voicemail. Searingly funny and surprisingly affecting, Live Fast Die Hot is a collection of stories about what happens when you realize that some things are more important than crafting the perfect tweet—and a reminder that even if you never thought you were cut out for parenting, at least you can be better at it than your mother.

They say Bethany Hamilton has saltwater in her veins. How else could one explain the tremendous passion that drives her to surf? How else could one explain that nothing - not even the loss of her arm in a horrific shark attack - could come between her and the waves? That Halloween morning in Kauai, Hawaii Bethany responded to the shark's stealth with a calmness beyond belief. Pushing pain and panic aside, she immediately thought: 'Get to the beach...' Rushed to the hospital, where her father, Ted Hamilton, was about to undergo knee surgery, Bethany found herself taking his spot in the operating theatre. When the first thing Bethany wanted to know after surgery was 'When can I surf again?' it became clear that her unfaltering spirit and determination were part of a greater story - a tale of courage and faith that this modest and soft-spoken girl would come to share with the world.
