"It is easy to read and very entertaining"
"A beautiful story. One is taken on a poignant journey of love and lost and love again. At its center is a man of faith, a doctor, a husband, a father devoted to serving the better angels in all of us. The author’s own experience immersed in the culture and resilience of the people of Rupununi savannahs is further testimony to the powerful adage that “ the honour and distinction of the individual consist in this, that he among all the world's multitudes should become a source of social good." (Abdu’l-Baha, The Secret of Divine Civilization)
Supporting capacity building with heart and soul
"The level of detail by the author places you there, with the night sky, the sounds and beauty or challenges of life, respectfully depicting the remote region and its people. The commitment and struggles of Dr Aidun, guided by belief in one humanity, informed by medical skill and reliant on resilience, ingenuity, and creativity, shine through clearly from chapter to chapter. The touching personal story, with sadness and blessed with love, is real. The narrative on many levels shares lessons well learned for others working to support communities in their development efforts worldwide."
