review 1: This is the true story of four smallholder farmers in Kenya who participate in an agricultural training program that helps increase their crop yields and promises to help them fight the hunger season in future years. Reading this made me long to go help in this work. Andrew Youn, founder of One Acre Fund, developed this program that lends seed and fertilizer to the farmers and teaches them how to maximize yield. Having enough food to feed their own families plus surplus to help with financial emergencies will make an incredible difference in these people's lives. Great opportunity to give me perspective on all that I have and take for
review 2: This is another one of those rare books that everyone should read. In fact, it was chosen as the "One Book One Northw... moreestern" book to be read by all incoming freshman at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. An intimate look into the lives of four Kenyan farmers (3 women, 1 man) their families, their priorities, hopes and dreams. In so many ways they are smarter than us in America and their struggles are certainly palpable. Don't miss it! less
