Jacqueline Novogratz’s text The blue Sweater is decent. This book is on my list because it is set in Africa and more importantly the subject, development work in Africa is familiar territory. The places and people she wrote about in the first section of this book could have been my neighbors, and they probably were. Overall the grassroots efforts that Jacqueline spearheaded is remarkable, given the challenges of the African continent in the late ’80s. Her stories were a joy to read. However in some instances I would have described a few incidences differently. The Blue Sweater is a great read for anybody remotely interested in the war stories of development work. There is not doubt that Ms. Novograatz writes from the depth of vast experiences. Her most recent work is even more remarkable.
