A while back, I was cruising through the new releases section of the Summit Public Library and I stumbled upon a book called "The Blue Sweater," written by Jacqueline Novogratz. For anyone out there looking to supplement their latest vampire novel with something that offers a bit more substance, pick this book up. Now. Below is an excerpt copied from the the book's homepage:
"The Blue Sweater at once is a deeply personal coming-of-age story of a young idealist determined to change the world, and a call to action to all those concerned with growing inequality around the globe. Novogratz relates her experiences over two decades, first in Africa and later in India and Pakistan. Her story is a true testament to the indomitable quality of the human spirit and the power of hope and optimism to create real change."
The author, Jacqueline Novogratz, is the founder and CEO of Acumen Fund. Novogratz's visionary organization is a philanthropic endeavor that is changing the way people perceive the role of non-profits in combating poverty and offering tangible solutions to the problems facing sustainable international development.
