If you have ever donated money to international aid and wondered
what it takes to deliver the aid on the ground then this is the
book for you. The dangers and high risk that sometimes accompany
the humanitarian aid workers in conflict and disaster zones. Follow
one man's journey through some of the most dangerous landscapes
helping aid organisations to remain safe while delivering vital aid
in war, post conflict and disaster zones throughout his 15-year
journey. The dangers to aid workers has never before been so acute;
the rise of violent extremist groups has shown a direct and
targeted threat to those who work in International Aid Delivery.
Executions, Kidnap and torture are all real threats, the risk of
being targeted and taken are real, yet the aid workers still
volunteer to travel to far-flung locations to deliver life-saving
aid to communities and to people they have never met and know very
little about. Follow the emotions of one man, understand his
mistakes and his personal humanity, read the terrifying detail of
several close calls on his personal safety and the lengths he went
through to ensure aid was delivered. Hear the relived accounts of
emergency evacuations, often under fire and the heartbreak of
losing one of your own with the dangers involved when recovering
the bodies of co-workers. All based on true events. Forget the
stories of those who stereo-type aid workers as tree-huggers and
do-gooders, while the work they do is for good, they are people who
put themselves in harm's way to help others, they face risks that
can end their lives, all with the motivation to help those in dire
need of support and to deliver life-saving aid, often delivering
the aid bought with your donation.
