Steve Volke, the CEO of the children's aid organization Compassion and author of numerous books, has gathered powerful stories for this book during his travels around the world. He tells of people who, despite difficult beginnings and challenging circumstances, have realized their dreams: children from slums have become lawyers, entrepreneurs, and true leaders. Children with disabilities complete their studies and become role models for others. Jennifer Gitiri from Kenya, who grew up in one of Nairobi's large slums, is now a constitutional lawyer and legal expert in the highest circles of the Kenyan government. Adul from Thailand, along with 12 teenagers, is rescued from a cave in a dramatic operation that captured global attention. Adul was the only one who spoke English and was able to communicate with the rescuers. Michelle from the Philippines, raised in a background of prostitution and drugs, returns after her studies to establish her own aid organization, Made in Hope. The stories of hope in this book demonstrate that there are ways out of suffering and misery. Inspiring tales for a better future.
