Sinopsis

When the Wall Street banker takes the side of the indebted developing countries in his feature articles reviewing the impact of the global sovereign debt crisis of the 1980s in the Dutch dailyáNRC-Handelsblad, it is time to leave banking. He is attracted to Unicef&rsquo,sáá vision and goal ofáHealth for Alláand its tireless pursuit of structural economic adjustment programmesáwith a human face. In Africa, Boudewijn Mohr jumps into Unicef&rsquo,s hands-on work in the field. He spearheads the clearing of landmines in Unicef project areas in Mozambique, and engages with children throughout his travels on the continent. Thus he can be found playing football with former child soldiers in Monrovia, touring Nouakchott with street children who show him the tricks of pick pocketing, or gate crashing a diamond mine that exploits child labour near Kenema in the rebel-infested east of Sierra Leone.á His stories are both an adventure and the search of fulfilment but at the same time a call to all those who want to do more and are uncertain of what the world holds.Part of the proceeds of this book are going to ',Hands-Up Foundation',, a British charity working with Syrian doctors and nurses in Syria under harsh circumstances.
