When the younger generation appreciates your writing

 








WHEN THE YOUNGER GENERATION APPRECIATES YOUR WRITING 


I was very delighted to receive this message from my niece, Andrea.
She had lent the book I wrote about my father to a friend.
Her friend read the book, Memoirs of Dr. A. M. Khan: Journey of an Educator.
This is what she said, “I know it’s an ungodly hour but I have to write.
I’m so exhilarated by your grandfather’s memoirs; it’s unbelievable.
Well written.
I believe that reading was timely it has given me more confidence and enthusiasm to do more, give more, pray more, and dedicate myself to the cause of a child.
I wish I can keep the book or get one from where ever.
Thank you, Andrea.
And yes we must get together to talk about this humble but great man.”
My niece told her to contact me as I was the writer.
She contacted me to get a copy of the book.
Incidentally, this book received four five-star reviews from Readers’ Favorite International.
It is a great motivational book for teachers and Educators.
The foreword was written by a former Chief Justice of Trinidad and Tobago, Sir Isaac Hyatali, Q.C. [now deceased]

FIVE STAR REVIEW FROM READERS FAVORITE

Dr. Andrew Moonir Khan: Journey of an Educator by Mrs. Brenda C. Mohammed is a non-fiction memoir on the life, work, and thoughts of Andrew Moonir Khan.
This book is compiled together by Dr. Khan's daughter, Brenda, but a lot of the book contains writing in Dr. Khan's own voice and his own hand, taken from his memoirs he had written before he passed away.
The book describes his parents' background as indentured Indians who migrated to Trinidad and Tobago around the turn of the last century to work on the sugarcane plantations.
Both of his parents had married before and divorced, and so this was the second marriage for both of them. Andrew Khan describes their house, the tropical lushness of the surroundings, his own childhood games and interests, school and education, his first job, his career as an educator and teacher in Trinidad, his period of stay in London on a government scholarship, his involvement in the church and his faith, and his lifelong commitment to the cause of education.
What I liked about Memoirs of Dr. Andrew Moonir Khan the most. is that it depicts life in Trinidad about 100 years ago, which is little known to the outside world these days.
The history of so many immigrants, including Indians, who immigrated there is one that needs to be told.
I also liked that Mrs. Brenda C. Mohammed has included so many reminiscences and first-hand accounts and memories of various people who knew Dr. Andrew Khan, all of which portray a vivid picture of the man more than a mere biography can do.
Dr. Khan's ethics, morals, and teachings are an inspiration and, above all, present a humanitarian point of view.
I also very much appreciated his ideas on the importance of education and equal rights and opportunities for women everywhere.
This is a short and compelling read by Mrs. Brenda C. Mohammed which I would certainly recommend.
