Produktinformationen zu „Jai Yen Means Keep a Cool Heart (ePub)“
When I moved from that blank space on the map known as Northeast Montana to Thailand in 1963 with a pregnant wife and a three year old daughter, I knew there would be some changes in my life, but I had no idea how great those changes would be and how much the people of Thailand would change my own world view. I learned to be jai yen (cool hearted), instead of angry or frustrated. That is the Thai way. I went as an agricultural advisor to work among theMountain Tribes. This book is about the 33 years I spent roaming the hill countrytrekking from villageto village over the foot trails. The people I came to teach taught me many things. I learned about hospitality, descision making by consensus, and how to live with one another. I shared their shelter, their food, their joys, and their sorrows.
Autoren-Porträt von Rupert Nelson
The author's first 18 years were spent on farms in South Dakota and Iowa. Learning how to read in a one room country school opened up the world. University studies first took him to the University of Sioux Falls in South Dakota, a degree in Agronomy from South Dakota State University, and a Masters Degree from the University of Wisconsin. He was employed by the Montana Cooperative Extension Service on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation from 1959-63. He served in the Army during the Korean War, and the experience of seeing children dieing from hunger and cold caused him to think seriously about a vocation aimed at alleviating some of the earth's ills. He subsequently worked in Thailand for 33 years as an Agricultural Missionary among the Mountain Tribes. "JAI YEN MEANS KEEP A COOL HEART" is the author's second book. His first book, "LIKE THE RINGS OF A TREE", was published by Author House in 2005
