Synopsis
When Don
Morgan`s son suggested he come out of retirement to
volunteer with charitable organisations, he created a wave
of change that impacted upon hundreds of people. A few
months later, the seventy year old British businessman found
himself immersed in the vibrant sights, sounds, foods and
the historical culture of Salvador, Brazil.
There,
he taught English to young students who needed the language
skills to find jobs in the hotel and travel industry. He
helped in several charitable organisations, and provided
care for small children. He made a difference!
Based
upon the diaries he kept during two volunteer experiences,
this moving book details his work in words and 39 wonderful
colour photographs. It’s inspirational and a motivation to
those looking for an unusual way to make a difference in the
world - and in themselves. There is a growing need for more
volunteers who could share their skills and experiences by
volunteering to work in community led projects, through
international volunteer organisations. People of all ages
with a variety of skills and experiences can help in
communities with critical social needs.
You`re never too old to volunteer and make a difference |
