Leaving Microsoft to Change the World: An Entrepreneur's Odyssey to Educate the World's Children by John Wood
3.0
I follow Room to Read on Twitter. A few months ago, I added the Room to Read Twibbon (a twibbon is a tiny picture that's displayed on your Twitter avatar). A few minutes later, I got a message saying I was the 100th person to add the Twibbon. My prize was a free autographed copy of the book. Pretty cool.
This book demonstrates why Room to Read is an excellent organization. John Wood recounts a trip to Nepal in the 90's during which he was struck by the kindness of the people and the poverty in which they lived. From there, he describes leaving Microsoft to begin a nonprofit that build libraries in countries like Nepal. I admire the insane amount of work that John Wood put into founding RtR and I hope this book causes more people to support their work. While his writing might not win a Pulitzer, his story is inspiring.
