Distant Howls of the Raging Beast

Orphaned by the ravages of a disease caused by a curse from the chief. Forced to flee the raids on their remote village in Southern Zambia. A flight through dangerous terrain and forests filled with wild animals waiting for their next prey. Crossing of crocodile infested rivers. Finally being smuggled and sold into the sex trade in South Africa. Never would the lives of two innocent young girls ever be the same again.

Born of Indian and Zambian parenthood in the then Northern Rhodesia, now known as Zambia, Betty Facci is the last born in a family of five children. She also has step-brothers and step-sisters some of who are still living today. She has a husband of Italian origin, four lovely grown up children as well as a couple of grand children. Having witnessed the pain, suffering and devastation that Aids continues to inflict on nations, and especially on those of poor third world countries, she hopes and prays that the world might find a cure in the near future to stop this scourge.
