Fountains in the Dust
Snapshots from the Streets of South America
by Adrian & Bridget Plass and Angela Murray
GoodBookStall Review:
A heartrending account yet full of humour and hope! How can that be? Well! Adrian Plass is renowned for his humour but also for his sensitivity to other’s plights. Bridget too has shared many of these experiences before, so is open to understand the commitment of the workers with these street children. Angela Murray is employed by Toybox the charity which sent them on this trip, their task, to find out how the money is being spent, how the projects are working out and raise awareness of the need by writing this book on their return. It has worked for my husband and I.
The illustrations alone give an idea of what is being done and the surrounding dirt and poverty; yet there are happy smiling faces too and the sense that those working in this environment will never give up on these young people; but they do need our money!
