Description
From walking with lions in the bush to dodging bombs in Dar es Salaam, psychologist Susanne Rheault recounts with candor and humility the hard lessons learned during a life working to help impoverished communities in Africa. Starting with work to end the AIDS epidemic, Susie travels throughout east and southern Africa finally focusing on a small rural village in Tanzania where she and her husband form an alliance with two Tanzanian educators. They start with nine AIDS orphans and are now educating 350 children from vulnerable families.

“Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. For indeed it is the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead
In this stunning memoir, Susie Rheault talks about how her life has lead her to The Precious Project in Tanzania and how this project has evolved over the years. This book is heart-breaking, encouraging, cheerful, tear-inducing, and beautiful all at once. I enjoyed this book from the very start and by the time she mentioned my hometown in German, she had me wrapped around her finder. I could not put it down until I was done with it and then went straight to researching the Precious Project online. I highly encourage readers to learn more about this project and support it as well..
I cannot wait until I can buy an actual copy of this book to put on my bookshelf and share it with friends.
