The work is based on a personal experience of the author, who gives birth to Jerome, a baby with Down syndrome, whose disabilities predict a short prognosis for life.

These sessions were organized by the Mozefo project, which aims to be a Mozambique reference forum with regional impact and international influence, and brought together leading international personalities who discussed the future of Africa and the influence in a globalized world that can reach in the 21st century the continent with the youngest population.
