To celebrate International Women’s Day, we highlight Dr. Hawa Abdi, better known as the “Saint of Somalia” as she has been nominated for the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize. Click here to read about Angelina Jolie, the amazing actor and humanitarian as she tells the story of Dr. Hawa Abdi, the inspiring Somali obstetrician whose medical camp in Somalia has literally saved thousands. After hearing about her nomination for the Peace Prize, Dr. Hawa noted that in the last 27 years, she has given Somalis her heart and her soul without losing hope. The Nobel Peace Prize nomination comes at the right time lifting her morale and keeps her hope alive. If she wins the Prize, she hopes to empower Somali women economically and give a home to homeless Somalis. Make sure to look out for Dr. Hawa’s memoir next year! We will share more news about other Somali nominees for example for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Be Inspired! Be Positive! Be Somali!
