Add to basketEmbark on a profound journey with Chrysantus Ache, a UNHCR humanitarian champion, as he unveils the "Treasures of a Lifetime." Born in Bamunkumbit, Cameroon, Ache's remarkable story spans decades of dedicated service and sacrifices, traversing 16 African countries, and Switzerland navigating refugee crises.
"Treasures of a Lifetime" invites readers of classes and culture together to join Ache as he shares the stories behind his most prized possessions, each a demonstration to the human spirit's capacity to thrive amidst adversity. He recalls learning about his grandfather's kindness from his father and uncle, a legacy that echoes through generations. "His kindness... reminds us that true wealth and happiness lie not in what we accumulate but in the love we share through giving, serving, and respecting others."
Ache's achievements include negotiating a $1,000,000 donation from the Nigerian government in 1991 to support UNHCR activities. He also navigated the complex "Bulk Challenge" ship crisis in Takoradi Harbour, Ghana, ensuring the safe disembarkation of Liberian and foreign national from the the war zone of Monrovia. The book chronicles Ache's experiences in conflict zones, including Monrovia's "April 6 War" and the intense conflict between MPLA and UNITA in Angola. He witnessed the rebirth of Kurmuk town in Sudan, where his team rebuilt roads, schools, and lives. The memoir also recounts his time in Sierra Leone, where he encountered the devastating effects of civil war at Waterloo Camp.
Through Ache's journey, discover the power of humanitarian work and the transformative power of love, service, and giving. "Treasures of a Lifetime" is a tribute to Africa's people and the universal language of compassion. Join Ache on this unforgettable journey, and discover the treasures that lie within Africa's complexities.
