According to Aidworkers.net (AWN), if you are looking for ways to enter humanitarian work or to develop your career in aid and development, start with this booklet: Better Ways to Find Humanitarian Employment. The booklet by Dr Bryan Walker is intended to help altruistic people into humanitarian service, and those who are already there to move onwards and upwards.
If you have a disability, press on. The author - during 16 years in full-time humanitarian work with several agencies - has worked with humanitarian colleagues who have been disabled physically or sensorily. This booklet is the latest in the Better Ways… series. It was written in response to requests from AWN readers and others who wish to become successful humanitarian workers.
