Start the Rain
Mayelana nale audiobook
Start the Rain is about how we respond to hardship brought about by one of the worst droughts in the last one hundred years. Read and be inspired!
In Australia’s Outback, the land is dry and dusty. The rainclouds are few and far between. The land suffers, as do the crops, so to the people on the land. It’s time to make a change to save the farms, but who will answer the “call to arms”? Who will start the rain?
Outback Australia is drought country. It’s where farmers and their families struggle with little or no rain. It’s where livestock, grain, and other food crops are grown to feed the people of Australia and the world. When there’s no rain, there’s no food. The farmers need a hand to survive the “great dry.”
