Has anyone already read The Blue Sweater by Jacqueline Novogratz?

I placed my amazon order over the weekend. So psyched to begin reading her story. Has anyone already read it? There's no end to the topic discussions around this book.

If I go on record saying I am going to dig in to the book this weekend the odds increase significantly that it will happen!

Christine, thnx for the invitation. Loving the book so far...probably about 50-75 pages in. Jacqueline's experiences in Rwanda remind me very much of my time on the ground with people in Kampala and Gulu, Uganda in 2007.

Welcome aboard Mark. When you have some time, would love to hear some of your stories. What organization were you involved with or was it a solo adventure?

I read the book, and it contains so many interesting layers that upon completion I immediately wanted to start over. Regarding current life in Rwanda, there's an article called "The Life After" in the May 4th issue of the magazine.

Guess I should have mentioned the name: it's the New Yorker Magazine!
