Notes: Book was sponsored by The Body Shop International PLC. Joe Holman was the founder of the charity that founded a network of villages for poor and destitute children in southern India and transformed the lives of these young people and their families. In 50 years more than 15,000 children passed through his villages, where they were given an education and taught practical skills. He also pioneered a scheme by which labourers were encouraged to send their children to school in return for two calves that they could rear, to compensate for the loss of the child’s income. Joe Holman died aged 85 on the 30 March 2016. His work continues. This book is signed by Joe.
