Super Star

His name is Alidu but I call him Super Star cause that's what he is. He does it all; from manually fixing water pumps, to saving orphans, to mobilizing the community for ____ reason, to fighting guinea worm, to acting and being on the radio for discussion on philosophy, to Warrior (10 years ago his left eye was shot out in the civil war), to wearing cool sunglasses all the time, to wanting to learn English cause he hasn't been to school, to being the one strangers come to when traveling by. And of course he got me here. The joke being is he my father or am I his third wife?
