Book Description
"A Gringo in Peru-A Story of Compassion in Action" is the true account of one man's journey from his American life, to foil a murder contract, and into the Andean mountains of Peru where he created a project for poor children and discovered what true wealth really was. The profound changes in his own life, as his project for the children developed, gave him a depth of compassion and a view of what is possible when the impossible is attempted. This is a must read for anyone who has ever faced extraordinary challenges and who wanted to make the world a better place.
