With photographer Stine Heilmann’s beautiful and touching pictures the book takes you on a unique journey to eight destinations in six developing countries in Africa and Asia, where Danish companies as Butler’s Choice improve the lives of girls and women. These include insight from Choice Foundations school projects in Vietnam.

Besides being a beautiful and aesthetically coffee table book, it also provides a rare insight into how Danish companies take responsibility in developing countries.
