That kind of strength and determination can be found in all of us. When I sat down to read this, nothing could stop me. It is a great read for all ages. - Ade M.
Inspirational story
I read the book a couple of years ago. I felt like I was trudging through the first part of the book, waiting for Greg to be successful. The second part of the book showed me that Greg learned from all the trials of building the first school. It impressed upon me so much more how difficult any endeavor in a foreign culture is.
