{"product_id":"graced-with-orange","title":"Graced with Orange","description":"Bringing Education to the Children of Cambodia, a Woman Finds the True Meaning of Her Own Life.\nReaders will be inspired by the children of Cambodia. They are legacies of a genocide that murdered their teachers and many of their family members yet they yearn for the same opportunities young people deserve and desire all over the world a quality education in a safe, nurturing environment with skilled, motivated teachers.\nIn Cambodia, providing such an education was a huge challenge, but a small group of women in Singapore made it happen. This is the story of how Caring for Cambodia built sixteen life-changing schools, the likes of which were formerly unknown in this troubled third-world nation. It is also the story of how CFC changed the lives of founder Jamie Amelio and many of her friends and family members.\nYou'll start out learning how to build a charity from the ground up and end up understanding how 'giving' and 'getting' can become the same thing.\n\nCambodia today is still recovering from a difficult past, yet I never give up hope that peace and prosperity are coming. My hope grows stronger because of the work of Caring for Cambodia and Jamie's message in Graced with Orange that one individual can make a difference, and that many individuals together can create a cascading effect that has the power to change lives. --Sichan Siv, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and author of the international bestseller Golden Bones\n\nJamie Amelio's compulsion to breathe new life into the old Killing Fields one school at a time leads to a remarkably moving, personal, and candid journey. There is a profound irony in Amelio's quest while she is on a mission to rescue perhaps the most decimated, war-torn nation of Southeast Asia, it is that same country that comes to her family's rescue. Her hard-won lessons in building a whole educational system from scratch should be adopted by U.S. public schools today. --Christopher Graves, global CEO, Ogilvy Public Relations\n\nGraced with Orange is a warm, candid memoir that reveals Jamie Amelio's visionary dedication to education and her journey to transform the lives of Cambodian children. Through Caring for Cambodia, Jamie has inspired legions of volunteers to believe in the power of education, and this engaging narrative draws us in to share that passion. --Alice P.
