(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, May 15, 2015 ) Dublin, Ireland -- An ebook entitled Overseas Volunteer-Finding Magic And Meaning In The Journey From Head To Heart is available as as free Kindle download this weekend.
The short ebook is a collection of stories, videos and observations based on one doctors experiences of living in Africa for a decade.
The book draws parallels between the stage of grief and the emotional roller-coster of being faced with the realities of overseas life. The idea behind the book is that the process would be far easier if one knew that others experienced similar emotions or reactions.
The book suggests that volunteering overseas is essentially a metaphorical journey from head to heart for most people who have grown up only in a developed world setting.
The book also provides some practical advice for students or volunteers preparing to travel over the summer months.
The book has a collection of five star reviews. The most recent reviewer calls the book 'required reading'. The reviewer added 'Challenge you assumptions, leave your preconceived notions at the door and be enthralled by the candour and charisma of these wonderful true life stories from the frontline of global health'.
Another reviewer commented 'An fascinating read that keeps the mind flitting between imagination and reality as the author peppers descriptions of her (often harrowing) experiences with literary references, constantly questioning the rigid framework of understanding and action that the western world tries to impose upon problems. An excellent read for anyone who has been, who is or who plans to travel to the incredible continent that is Africa'.
The book is available for a limited period as a free download via the Amazon platform.
