Camel Cheese - Seemed like a Good Idea (Paperback): Nancy Jones Abeiderrahmane Camel Cheese - Seemed like a Good Idea (Paperback)

R487 Discovery Miles 4 870 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Little did Nancy Jones suspect what lay ahead for her when she thought that pasteurising milk in Mauritania would be a good idea. Her dream dairy just had to overcome a few minor hurdles: there were no cows in the desert, only restless camels; Mauritanians loved raw milk but regarded local industry with mistrust; there was no trained manpower; the technical environment was almost nonexistent; importers ruled the market - and she was a woman. Nancy Abeiderrahmane, as she became, wandered into a twenty-year-long adventure that would earn her a Rolex Award and a few medals, and more importantly offer her a unique experience of the pitfalls and transformations that lie on the rocky road to Development.

Du Lait Dans Le Desert ... Pourquoi Pas ? (French, Paperback): Nancy Jones Abeiderrahmane Du Lait Dans Le Desert ... Pourquoi Pas ? (French, Paperback)
Nancy Jones Abeiderrahmane
R523 Discovery Miles 5 230 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Le jour ou vint a Nancy Jones l'idee de pasteuriser du lait en Mauritanie, elle etait loin de se douter que ce qui lui semblait une bonne idee etait le debut d'une aventure au quotidien. Sans trop s'attarder sur des broutilles telles que l'absence de vaches dans le desert (mais des chamelles plutot nomades), le manque de main d' uvre qualifiee, la mefiance des mauritaniens vis-a-vis des industries, la mainmise des importateurs sur le marche ... et le fait d'etre une femme, Nancy, devenue par mariage Abeiderrahmane, armee de son sourire et son esprit d'entreprise, s'est hasardee dans un destin improbable. Vingt ans plus tard, avec a son actif un prix Rolex et quelques medailles decernees par le gouvernement mauritanien, la reine d'Angleterre et diverses ONG, elle raconte son experience, un apercu unique des ecueils et possibilites dont est parsemee la piste sablonneuse vers le Developpement.
