Inspired by the work of the late Princess Diana, Heidi began the humanitarian organization Roots of Peace from the basement of her Northern California home. She gained the support of famed Napa Valley vintners Robert Mondavi and Mike Grgich, and soon her "mines-to-vines" mission began to take hold. In this powerful memoir, Heidi tells the Roots of Peace story, from the early days in which she built her vision to her current presence on the global stage, where she has worked with presidents, prime ministers, landmine survivors, and religious leaders from around the world to spread a message of peace and recovery. In the years since the founding of Roots of Peace, its agricultural projects have made tremendous progress to fight against landmines, revitalizing devastated land and uplifting the lives of countless people in the process. This is a story of healing, faith, and how an ordinary person can inspire remarkable change -- and plant the seeds of a brighter future."--|cProvided by Freading. 588 0 Publisher metadata. 600 10 Kühn, Heidi. 650 0 Land mines|xDetection. 650 0 Reclamation of land. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Social Activists.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 914 frd00045301
