As Marc says on his Facebook page:

Friends, thank
you so much for taking the time to support my book. A few things worth
noting…1) it is written but unpublished,
2) I am in the process of querying agents (this is more work than writing the
book)
3) More content will be forthcoming (I’m joyfully overwhelmed responding to
emails of support).
4) When the book does get published, half of the proceeds I collect will go
back to the charity.
5) Yes, that is me on the cover. I will post the back cover in the next day or
two so that you can see me when I’m scrubbed up lol
6) I really appreciate all of you. Old friends and new ones, I cannot say
“thank you enough” for helping.

Thank you again,

Marc Valentin

Description

Longing to add
meaning to his life, investment banker Marc Valentin trades the security of a
fat paycheck for the uncertainty of teaching the poorest children on the
planet.Although his new colleagues guide his transition from pitching stocks on the
trading floors to sweeping floors in a Mumbai schoolhouse, only Marc has the
power to validate the life-changing decision. But first, he must confront the brutality of slum life, the chaos of Indian society, and an illness that eats away at his body.  Will Marc, who never gives up on anything, meet his match and lose his self-respect and possibly his life? Whether you are searching for your own sources of strength, dream about making your own escape, or simply love to travel, your curiosity will peak as Marc unveils his firsthand experience across all three. front the brutality of slum life, the chaos

Besides being with my family,this dirty, broken road is my favorite place in the world.  Nowhere else on earth am I happier because as I walk up this road to my school, my students come running out from everywhere and give me hugs.

Not all of the volunteers, staff, students, families, and supporters who are part of the One! International world family will agree with Marc’s observations and comments about the school, organization, students, families, city and country.

This is Marc’s story, and it is his journey.

However, I think all of us will agree with many of the observations, and comments; see ourselves in some of the pages; laugh and cry with him in parts of his story.

Please join with me in supporting Marc’s project.
