Scott does a good job telling his story and that of charity: water. Because it sounded like something I might want to support, I looked charity: water up on Charity Navigator, and learned it scored 91/100 and had a perfect 100 when it came to transparency and accountability (doubtless because of things like "No Water for Our Birthday" and some of the other stories in the book). So I may have found a charity to support as well as a book I very much enjoyed.

So I may have found a charity to support as well as a book I very much enjoyed. I like the important ideas conveyed in this book. The author describes himself as a storyteller. He does a good job. I think the theme gets more interesting as the book progresses so do not get too bored at the first quarter if the book, where the author seems to be a different type person altogether. After all, it is a memoir of sort and his personality does change dramatically. My daughter has spent a decade working at nonprofits. She was well aware of the success of this charity and its founder before I even heard of the book. It is an inspiring true and ongoing story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
At 28 years old, Scott Harrison had it all. A top nightclub promoter in New York City, his life was an endless cycle of drugs, booze, and models. But 10 years in, desperately unhappy and morally bankrupt, he asked himself, "What would the exact opposite of my life look like?" Walking away from everything, Harrison spent the next 16 months on a hospital ship in West Africa and discovered his true calling. In 2006, with no money and less than no experience, Harrison founded charity: water. Today, his organization has raised over $300 million to bring clean drinking water to more than 8.2 million people around the globe. Now Harrison recounts the twists and turns that built charity: water into one of the most trusted and admired nonprofits in the world. Renowned for its 100% donation model, bold storytelling, imaginative branding, and radical commitment to transparency, charity: water has disrupted how social entrepreneurs work while inspiring millions of people to join its mission of bringing clean water to everyone on the planet within our lifetime. Harrison outlines how to build a better charity, a better business, and a better life -- proving it's never too late to make a change. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
