\;
Village Wisdom\, written\, photographed and published by Carrie Wagner in 2010\, fifteen years after she and her husband completed three years in Uganda with Habitat for Humanity International\, tells an engaging and uplifting story that touches a soft spot in hearts of people from all walks of life. Through evocative photographs and candid journal entries\, Wagner contrasts the richness of culture with the challenges of poverty. She takes the reader through her transformational process of cultural adaptation\, detailing the depths of depression and the heights of spiritual enlightenment. This book appeals to people who have lived\, traveled\, or dreamed of living overseas. It also inspires parents who want to instill in their children the values of humility\, gratitude and global concern. Wagner’s writing vividly describes her cross-cultural experiences\, but more importantly\, divulges the lessons learned from living a simple life in the village. -from the publisher
