Godfreys Wheelbarrow - A Letter From Africa (What Doesn'T Kill You, Makes You Stronger)

This book came to life as a letter, a very long letter written daily from a volunteer in Africa telling about daily experiences and reflections. It is a mixture of adventures of a volunteer, feelings while being in the third world as well as an individual's deep dive in his mind over life, beliefs and difficult experiences throughout his life. It is a description of sadness and joy, a reflection on poverty as well as cultural richness. This book is suitable for everyone curious of what it means to be a volunteer, to read more about the third world and how we can contribute as well as what to expect if you choose to go on this journey yourself. It is also a reflection of a psychological journey of a person coming from a difficult background. It invites to a deep reflection on life and experience, bringing both tears and laughter of hilarious stories of life adventures.

The last 20 years he has spent in high complex and international business environments working on improving organizational profits.
