  Former Microsoft executive delivers books on a yak after quitting job
Time: 13:30 EST/18:30 GMT | News Source: Yahoo News | Posted By: Alex Harris

A former top executive of US software giant Microsoft Corp has traded his high-flying job to deliver books to remote villages in Nepal on the back of a yak. John Wood, a 39-year-old senior executive at the Washington-state based company quit his 300,000-dollar-a-year post and launched a charity in 2000 to boost literacy in remote Asian communities in countries such as India and Nepal.

The firm's former director of business development for China used the substantial cash cushion he had built up while in the technological fast lane to set up the non-profit Room for Read which focuses its energies on Asia. "People thought I was crazy, but I think it's how you use your freedom that counts and I wanted to do something for other people," he said of friends' reaction to his transformation from executive to educator.
