Product information "Every Child Counts"

Have you ever wondered if your desire to help others is actually helping them-or hurting them? Every Child Counts explores this vital issue. Proctor started her journey as a medical missionary swooping as a "hero" into Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. She and her team went to rural places to deliver care to the local people-whether they wanted it or not. Along the way she met the forty children at COPPROME orphanage. She realized that to help the people in Honduras she should start by educating this group of children, which would in turn embolden them to take control of their own lives as adults. The author's journey from charity to philanthropy included helping found the non-profit Honduras Children's Project, then getting to know and hiring local people to empower them to break the cycle of poverty for others in the area who most needed it. By calling out the difference between charity and philanthropy and sharing her own twenty years of experience replete with many personal examples, physician and philanthropist Debbie Proctor shows how anyone can develop sustainable projects and make a difference in the lives of those we'd like to help.
