Product Description

Synopsis

For twenty-five years, Father Joe Maier, a Catholic priest, has lived and worked in Bangkok's bleakest slums, establishing more than thirty schools, five shelters for street kids, and the city's first AIDS hospice and home for AIDS mothers with AIDS kids - working with and in opposition to authority, while being threatened and shot at and, ultimately, praised by even his enemies. Here he tells the stories of the poorest of Thailand's poor.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read - an eye opener to the slums of Bangkok, 23 Dec 2006
By Mrs. Julie C. Baxter "Julie - mother of two" (Guildford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fascinating book. We have visited the HDF where Father Joe is based and does his fantastic work. This book is a series of articles he has published in the Bangkok Post about some of the children he looks after. He writes very movingly, without judging. I think everyone should read it - particularly when enjoying a cheap holiday in Thailand - I urge you to donate to the charity too.
