opportunity

How an abandoned child became a champion of the poor. David Bussau has lived and worked among the world's poor, had his life threatened by corrupt profiteers, been kidnapped by pirates and born witness to natural and man-made disasters. For the first time this orphan turned millionaire, entrepreneur, humanitarian and ultimately co-founder of Opportunity International, one of the world's largest aid organisations, allows his full story to be told in "Don't Look Back: The David Bussua Story" by Phillipa Tyndale.
(Personal note: Of all the people I've met, this guy is the least pretentious, yet amazingly productive person I've ever known.)
