A superb gift for anyone you know.
22. August 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This extraordinarily sensitive rendering of a place and a people will move the hardest hearts and the most cynical of your acquaintances. It correctly depicts Haitians as intelligent, inventive, courageous, generous and dignified peope and thus gives Haitians the respect they are due. Author Margaret Trost's insights provide the reader with new ways of viewing the relationship between the wealthy world and the poor world. Trost is never condescending to the reader, is never self-promoting, is always honest. The Haitians Trost describes will raise the reader's hope for humanity. I'm going to gift it to everyone I know.

I'll be giving this to friends and famiy members
5. September 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Like the author I travel regularly to a country where the poverty can be overwhelming. Her experiences and dilemmas rang true with mine, page after page. But amid the sadness and friends and desperation, the book finds enough hope and inspiration to keep it from being depressing. Even better, the author found a way to make a difference.
As I read the book, I thought about whether it would be good for my high-school age niece, who is starting to explore questions of global inequality and poverty. At the beginning I feared it would be too depressing for her, but it is not. It is also a quick read- well-written, not long, and with a compelling personal story. I'll be giving the book to my niece and to other friends and family members who want to understand poverty in the world, or are struggling with the contrast between our wealth and their poverty.

A most moving story of how one person can change the lives of so many
2. September 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
I LOVE THIS BOOK! I am so inspired by this moving story. This book is a moving account of how one woman made a commitment that has changed the lives of many children and families in the impoverished country of Haiti. It is about the inspiration that many of us are seeking - to provide meaningful contribution to others through our lives. Her inspirations led Margaret to Haiti and to search for meaning; she connected with the most incredible pastor Fr. Jean Juste (Gerry) - a visionary of the caliber of King and Ghandi - a visionary who refuses to see anything other than light for his people...This story is of how she manifested his vision of food for the hungry children of his parish. I cried often reading what was for me a very moving and compassionate account of a woman's love for others. From a simple beginning, the "What If? Foundation" that Margaret Trost selflessly built out of her vision, provides children food and education that would otherwise not get even one meal each day. Basically Margaret brings hope to this forgotten part of the world being torn apart by politics.
I love this book and how inspired I feel when I read it. I highly recommend it as a book club/reading group selection, and for anyone that wants inspiration in their own lives. One doesn't need to be interested in politics or in Haiti in order to enjoy it. Beautifully written.
