Review: Hawke’s Bay Weekend

29 04 2010

Of the many books I have read, this one certainly has had the greatest impact.  The subtitle, “inspiring stories of the world’s unsung heroes” gives the keyword – inspiring.

It is inspiring to read true reports about incredible people.

Miles Roston has filmed extensively in Africa, Asia and Europe and has worked in the areas where he finds subjects.  They tell their own stories of children in crisis in Cambodia and Sudan as well as the poorer parts of Pittsburgh and Amsterdam.  Why does a university graduate decide to help street children in Thailand or an Australian Architect spend years helping the Aboriginals?  And Mustafa’s story should be read by all dealing with young/gang problems.  We are reminded that people need hope and encouragement to realise their dreams.

Highly recommended.
