Recenzje

"I found it inspirational because, along with the disappointments and frustrations, there is another feature which shines through every page: the author’s passionate concern for the world’s children and their education. It is, above all, the record of a man who has devoted his life, whatever the difficulties, to making a difference." - Derek Gillard, Forum
