About PETER GOEDHART

Having finished his university studies in land and water management, Peter Goedhart (1951, the Netherlands) began his professional career working in rural energy programs in India. He later worked for over 30 years with a Dutch donor organization and was directly involved in development projects mainly in India, where he travelled extensively, but also in Nepal and Pakistan. Though he has always been a writer throughout his professional career with a book on a visit to Ukraine and several essays, policy papers, speeches and columns to his credit writing remained more or less a hobby for him until he used a sabbatical to compose the short stories comprising this book. Witty and displaying a subtle humor that directly engages the reader, these vignettes shows how his creative imagination transforms the reality of mundane life into something not only entertaining but eye-opening as well. He is currently a writer as well as editor for websites and newsletters of Dutch civil society organizations.
