Summary:
In 1989, driven by a dream and the memory of her own past, Christina Noble travelled 6,000 miles to Vietnam, a country of great beauty where the terrible legacy of war is still being felt. Against extraordinary odds she opened the Christina Noble Children's Foundation, providing medical aid and schooling. Through this foundation the street children could find safety and new beginnings under the protection of 'Mama Tina'. Christina's story continues with the tale of what she and her foundation have achieved. She takes us from the streets of Saigon to the children's prisons of Mongolia. A staunch campaigner for children's rights, for Christina there are no frontiers, only a world filled with children reaching out.
