It also won an honorable mention in the international Readers' Favorite Awards, 2019. McKee's book is about his first overseas adventures in Sabah, Malaysia (North Borneo), where he served as a Canadian CUSO volunteer teacher and program administrator during 1968-70 and 1973-74. McKee, who holds a B.A. Degree from the University of Calgary and a Masters in Communication from Florida State University, lived and worked in Asia, Africa, Russia and traveled to over 80 countries on assignments during his 45-year international career. He became an expert in communication for behavior and social change. McKee directed and produced of a number of award-winning documentary films/videos, animated films, and wrote a large number of articles, books, and manuals in the field of communication for international development.
McKee is busy creating two other memoirs, at present: a humorous and poignant one on his childhood and youth in a chemically polluted small town in Canada; and another on a 15,000-mile, 400-year search for the stories of his ancestors in North America, during which he met distant cousins, historians, and interesting characters to discuss the times and conflicts through which his blood relatives lived. The journey ends at Plymouth Plantation and the Mayflower.
McKee does readings/book signings and presentations with or without photos. He prefers lively interactive sessions.lihat lebih sedikit
