Book Description
Kelsey Lawton, a preacher's daughter, had listened to her grandfather, John K. Lawton, and his friends talk about the Lost Lake legend since she was a very young girl. The men often sat around the Lawton's kitchen table discussing the legend, which they had heard about from their parents, who in turn, had heard about it from their parents. As it was told, a group of people from below the Canadian border traveled in covered wagons from Minnesota into Northern Ontario where they settled on the banks of an uncharted lake somewhere north of Mill Bay, the Ontario community where Kelsey made her home. Intrigued by what she had heard, Kelsey often wondered if she would ever be able to see this mystery lake for herself. Believing the Lost Lake really existed and wasn't just a legend, Kelsey secretly collected clues that she hoped would eventually lead her to this lake, which, as her grandfather told it, was "a fur piece north" of Mill Bay. A nature photographer who used her skills to paint a picture of God's wonderful creation, Kelsey worked at Crag's Camera's alongside handsome Brett Conroy. Brett, who is studying to be a forest ranger, had been watching Kelsey for most of the three years they had been working together, wondering what it was that made her seem to be so happy all the time. When Brett, who had just recently begun attending the local Baptist church where Kelsey's father is the pastor, finally gets the courage to invite Kelsey to the annual church picnic, both of their lives are changed forever.

Where Am I Giving: A Global Adventure Exploring How to Use Your Gifts and Talents to Make a Difference
Author: Kelsey Timmerman
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119454417
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Your gifts connect you to a world of giving Americans are generous with their pocketbooks, but trying to make a difference and actually making a difference are two different things. Where Am I Giving? by New York Times bestselling author Kelsey Timmerman takes you on a journey to meet people who will inspire you to live a purpose-filled, generous life and make the greatest impact you can through your career, time, consumer dollars, and donations. Starting in his hometown of Muncie, Indiana, and then traveling all over the world (Myanmar, Kenya, India, Nepal, and more), Kelsey explores not only different ways of giving—as a worker, consumer, volunteer, giver, local and global citizen—but also the benefits and effectiveness of these methods. He spends time with monks, students, a refugee, a Marine, a former Hollywood executive, Peace Corps Volunteers, and seasoned aid workers to explore how they give, as well as with the people on the receiving end of their giving. Along the way he struggles to be a more informed giver as he becomes a "voluntourist,” starts his own local non-profit, and searches for a balance between rationality and passion in how he gives. This book will help you: Reveal the amazing opportunities you have to make an impact using your own gifts—and it doesn't have to be money Understand the sociology, philosophy, anthropology, and neuroscience of giving See how giving can make you more connected and happier Examine types of giving, including microlending, volunteering, donating, ethical consumption, mission trips, voluntourism, child sponsorship, etc. Dive into a nuanced view of effectiveness of international aid and its intersection with development, politics, and culture Where Am I Giving? is a fast-paced narrative combining compelling stories collected over 15 years of travel to 90+ countries, mixed with practical advice on how to make giving a part of our everyday lives.

My Baby Rhinos
Author: Kelsey Paul
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781943880065
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
It all started with a book Kelsey's mom read, The Elephant Whisperer by Lawrence Anthony, which tells the story of his early years establishing the Thula Thula Game Reserve in South Africa and the incredible bond he built with a rogue herd of wild elephants. Lawrence's conservation efforts soon became focused on the African rhino population that was in danger of extinction because of poaching. Due to local poaching near Thula Thula, more than a few orphaned baby rhinos were brought to Thula Thula, lovingly raised from infancy and then released to the wild. Two of the orphaned rhinos, Thabo and Ntombi, had been released to the wild but often came back at night to the grounds of the Safari Lodge where they were raised to sleep in the safety of their old home. And that is what Kelsey and her family found their first night at Thula Thula, two young rhinos curled up together asleep under the window of their hut! They looked so sweet, it was impossible to think that anyone would want to harm them. After visiting the Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage, which was nearing completion, Kelsey and her family realized how important it was to help save these babies. The extinction of the rhino population due to poaching was becoming a real possibility. My Baby Rhinos - The Story of Kelsey's African Adventure! tells the story of this amazing experience from Kelsey's perspective. The fundraising she did for the Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage with the support of her family and generous community of Laguna Beach taught her that even a young girl can make a difference. Kelsey's hope is for her children's story to be translated into languages all over the world to spread awareness and to inspire others to start their own projects to help protect these special creatures for generations to come.

Where am I Wearing?

Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118277554
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
A journalist travels the world to trace the origins of our clothes When journalist and traveler Kelsey Timmerman wanted to know where his clothes came from and who made them, he began a journey that would take him from Honduras to Bangladesh to Cambodia to China and back again. Where Am I Wearing? intimately describes the connection between impoverished garment workers' standards of living and the all-American material lifestyle. By introducing readers to the human element of globalization—the factory workers, their names, their families, and their way of life—Where Am I Wearing bridges the gap between global producers and consumers. New content includes: a visit to a fair trade Ethiopian shoe factory that is changing lives one job at time; updates on how workers worldwide have been squeezed by rising food costs and declining orders in the wake of the global financial crisis; and the author's search for the garment worker in Honduras who inspired the first edition of the book Kelsey Timmerman speaks and universities around the country and maintains a blog at www.whereamiwearing.com. His writing has appeared in the Christian Science Monitor and Condé Nast Portfolio, and has aired on NPR. Enlightening and thought-provoking at once, Where Am I Wearing? puts a human face on globalization.
