When Marc Valentin throws away his investment banking career to become a teacher for the poorest children on the planet, he must fight the uglier aspects of Indian society while struggling with an unknown illness that eats his body.

Marc tired of the rat race, so he did what most of us dream about—he quit his job to live life on his terms. Was it an easy decision? No, but it was a meaningful one. Follow his hilarious journey from pitching stocks on the trading floors to sweeping schoolhouse floors in Mumbai’s horrific slums. Enter the chaotic and brutal world he plunges into and battles to endure. Will Marc, who thinks nothing can defeat him, overcome the filth, the xenophobia, and the near-death train experiences to find his life’s purpose?

If you dream about traveling to exotic places, are searching for ways to release what’s deep within you, or need inspiration to serve others, Pearl in the Garbage Dump will pique your curiosity as Marc reveals his success in achieving all three.
