Description: World Vision traces the story of one of the world's largest humanitarian organizations, from the spark of compassion that launched it to the global operation it has become. Moving through its origins in the aftermath of the Korean War, its shift from emergency relief to long-term development, and its signature child sponsorship model, the book shows how ideals are turned into lasting action. It also looks at the organization's advocacy work, its internal structure, and the controversies and criticisms that have forced it to rethink its approach along the way. Thoughtful and wide-ranging, it offers a clear-eyed look at what it takes to do good on a global scale.
