David Toycen, ’69

The Power Of Generosity: How To Transform Yourself and Your World, by David Toycen, ’69. Hardcover, 192 pages, World Vision Press, 2004.

Dave Toycen is president and CEO of World Vision Canada (www.worldvision.ca), a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to helping the world’s underprivileged people, and received the Lawrence Alumni Association’s George B. Walter, ’36, Award for Service to Society in 1999.

Described as “an intimate journey down the road of giving,” The Power of Generosity “will strike a chord with all who want to fulfill a vital part of their humanity — the need to give.” During more than 29 years of traveling to the world’s poorest and most desperate countries, Toycen has seen — and now recalls — individuals who have been freed by acts of generosity. He believes that generosity can save your life. He knows that it can build community and help bring social justice and peace to a troubled world.
