About the book
At age 19, Adam Braun sold pens to classmates and raised funds to build the first library in a village in Laos. This initial action catalyzed the creation of Pencils of Promise, an organization that has already funded the construction of hundreds of schools in developing countries.
This book combines personal memoir, practical lessons in social entrepreneurship, and inspiration, showing how a young person with a simple idea can transform entire communities through education. A story of purpose, persistence, and the belief that changing the world is within anyone's reach.
