He is attracted to Unicef's vision and goal of \u003cem\u003eHealth for All \u003c\/em\u003eand its tireless pursuit of structural economic adjustment programmes \u003cem\u003ewith a human face\u003c\/em\u003e. In Africa, Boudewijn Mohr jumps into Unicef's hands-on work in the field. He spearheads the clearing of landmines in Unicef project areas in Mozambique, and engages with children throughout his travels on the continent. Thus he can be found playing football with former child soldiers in Monrovia; touring Nouakchott with street children who show him the tricks of pick pocketing; or gate crashing a diamond mine that exploits child labour near Kenema in the rebel-infested east of Sierra Leone. His stories are both an adventure and the search of fulfilment but at the same time a call to all those who want to do more and are uncertain of what the world holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the proceeds of this book are going to 'Hands-Up Foundation', a British charity working with Syrian doctors and nurses in Syria under harsh circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Boudewijn Mohr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786231492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786231499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grosvenor House Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Boudewijn Mohr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440036327679,"sku":"9781786231499","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d3df20f-2734-417c-995b-4f1881928c86.jpg?v=1777180157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-destiny-in-the-making-boudewijn-mohr-9781786231499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
