Caritas 60th anniversary book

Yesterday, we launched the Caritas 60th anniversary book. A book project that grew into something far deeper than any of us expected. At Maluti, we collaborate with Caritas on a pro-bono basis, with the same devotion we bring to any other project. We thought this would be a straightforward assignment: guide the concept, manage the production, coordinate the authors, refine the structure, shape the design and, of course, handle media relations. In short, do what we normally do. But this was not a normal PR job. Our involvement began long before the first sentence was written. We proposed the idea of the book, helped build its skeleton, joined the early conversations with the authors, and stayed present through every draft, every design version and every adjustment. We pushed, encouraged, challenged, refined. These are simply the facts. What I discovered, though, was something far more human. This book became an adventure of days and nights spent with Patricia, Marie-Annick, Père Romain and Stéphano. Time had no boundaries. Four in the morning on a Sunday, or midnight on a Friday, the rhythm was the same. And never, not once, did it feel like work. It felt like walking alongside beautiful people doing something meaningful, something that carried heart and purpose. Thank you to this extraordinary team. Thank you for the trust, the patience, the honesty and the shared commitment to excellence. This book is not just a 60-year timeline. It is a piece of collective humanity, a constellation of quiet superheroes, and I am grateful to have walked this part of the journey with you.
