Imagine not having a book to read when you were going up as a kid? We take this stuff for granted but in 1998, John Wood, a rising executive at Microsoft, took a soul-searching trip to the Himalayas that changed his life. What started as a trekking holiday in Nepal became a spiritual journey, and then a mission: to change the world one book and one child at a time by setting up libraries in the developing world. He was soon driven to leave his career with only a loose vision of the change he wanted to bring to the world.
I’ll say no more just have a read of the site and read the book

Hats off to John I think..
