| Publisher Description: Author and Motivational Speaker, Solomon Raju Vulamparti, takes us on a journey as told by Fr. Julian Policetti, across a 30-year span, during which the compassionate priest dedicated his life to eradicating famine and hopelessness to India's most vulnerable people - the villagers. Fr. Julian saw what no-one else wanted to - that the secret to transitioning these people from poverty to dignity had to begin with unity and the empowerment of women - a truly radical concept in a society where females fell to the bottom of the pecking order and were destined to live out their lives in oppression.He began his movement early in the 1980's, with the following objectives: - Bridging the gap between poverty-stricken farmers and money-lenders, to enable farmers to buy quality seeds and other necessities in order to create long-term solutions to a population encumbered by famine.- Providing educational facilities where none were accessible.- Providing clean drinking water and sanitation to ward off life-threatening diseases, to which the under-nourished were most vulnerable.- To tap into the resourcefulness and creativity of a people so gifted, and to provide opportunities for them to flourish.This massive undertaking began three decades ago and still continues. In this book, we'll reveal how it all began, and then bring you straight into the lives of real women, with real faces, and real names, who have stepped forward to tell their inspiring stories of how they rose from the dust of oppression, to conquer the odds-and have succeeded-thanks to the tireless staff and Visionaries at the Mother Teresa Rural Development Society, and their mission of hope. |
