Most people go out of their way to avoid being bothered. Not Jamie Amelio. In this remarkable follow-up to her 2012 book Graced with Orange, Amelio turns this notion on its head, arguing that being bothered and, more importantly, staying bothered are the key ingredients needed to solve the world’s most pressing problems.

Staying Bothered is the story of one woman’s quest to make the world a better place by improving the lives of its most vulnerable population―children. Amelio’s recipe for success is as revolutionary as it is simple: Fnd an issue that bothers you, tackle it head-on, and never let the anger that drew you to the cause fade away. From the education system in Cambodia to teen mental health in the U.S., Amelio never backs down from a challenge, and in the process she not only improves her life but also those of everyone around her.

Bringing Education to the Children of Cambodia, a Woman Finds the True Meaning of Her Own Life.

Readers will be inspired by the children of Cambodia. They are legacies of a genocide that murdered their teachers and many of their family members yet they yearn for the same opportunities young people deserve and desire all over the world a quality education in a safe, nurturing environment with skilled, motivated teachers.

In Cambodia, providing such an education was a huge challenge, but a small group of women in Singapore made it happen. This is the story of how Caring for Cambodia built sixteen life-changing schools, the likes of which were formerly unknown in this troubled third-world nation. It is also the story of how CFC changed the lives of founder Jamie Amelio and many of her friends and family members.

You'll start out learning how to build a charity from the ground up and end up understanding how 'giving' and 'getting' can become the same thing.

Little Chacky is a five-year-old Cambodian girl living in a village. With the help of Stumpy the crocodile, she learns about friendship, kindness and the value of helping each other.
