I finished this book last weekend in Geraldton. I loved it, not depressing at all, does make you a bit mad though that all of the international aid money isn't used more effectively the way Paul Polak describes. I think I may just have found where my future donation money will be going.
Crocheting a gift, it's not turning out as long as I want. I may have to rip it out and start again (for the fourth time) with different proportions. I'm using the wool I bought for this project, but didn't buy enough.
BTW the project from my last Yarn Along participation has been finished and worn and I've written out the pattern here.

hope your crochet ends up turning out how you want it to
ReplyDeleteHope you have better luck with your crochet this week.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a really interesting book.
ReplyDeleteHope your project goes better this week.
I love that hat your designed! So cute!
O, I could really get into a discussion on poverty with you! Some of the best intentions of money can hurt and already fragile economy in some places! A charity I really love is Food for the Hungry (www.fh.org)as they have an exit plan for each community, and spend a huge amount of time talking with community leaders instead of walking in, taking over and leaving no leaders behind. That sounds like a great read!
ReplyDeleteLove the color of your project - hope it turns out well

Glad to hear that the book wasn't depressing, I would have assumed that it was. Hope you have more success with the crochet this time around!
ReplyDeleteHappy you enjoyed my book. My book and website have a wonderful list of great non profits.The heading on the website is Resources for Change. I also blog as often as I can to expand on the ideas expressed in my book. Thanks again for your kind words. http://www.paulpolak.com/html/res.html
