“Bernard, you have to accept being the standard-bearer, you have no choice!” The message addressed to Bernard Kervyn more than thirty years ago has been heard. In Vietnam and Cambodia today, the tireless humanitarian worker is proudly carrying the banner of the poorest, mostly women, who don’t even have a euro a day to live on.
With this book—an interview with journalist François Blaise—Bernard Kervyn recounts a lifetime dedicated to giving hope for the future to all those who haven’t had the chance to catch the train of economic growth, currently underway in Southeast Asia. And there are still far too many of them!
With his colleagues from Anh Duong and Thien Chí in Vietnam, and CAO in Cambodia, and with his friends and supporters of Mekong Plus around the world, Bernard Kervyn helps create activities that empower tens of thousands of the poorest people to regain their footing. Sustainable agriculture, primary healthcare, garment making and fair trade, support for children's education… The projects funded by donations and microloans number in the dozens thanks to the close collaboration of the teams on the ground. The results are impressive, as you will discover here.
Why this life choice, made more than fifty years ago? What doubts and obstacles were encountered? What changes were made and for what purpose? What inspiring successes? What lessons have been passed on to those who will one day take up the mantle? The rebellious entrepreneur shares here the questions that have haunted him throughout his life and the answers he found.
At the end of his adolescence, a time of profound questions, Bernard Kervyn vowed to leave a mark on his life that he could be proud of. This book is his testament to that.
I absolutely loved Bernard Kervyn's book!
After two filming trips to his home in Vietnam and a few shows together at the RTBF studios, I thought I knew him pretty well, but... I still learned so much about him and his community/participatory development work. It's full of inspiring examples, beautiful photos, some truly insightful one-liners, and a wonderful sense of humanity. It's a smooth read, not preachy, but with a healthy dose of humor and self-deprecation.
I highly recommend reading this book, "Rebel Entrepreneur"...
