People have asked me how my own experience relates to my interest in humanitarian and emergency aid and also asked me if I was planning on doing this kind of work myself! Well, since I am now 52 and never expected I would travel and teach in Kosovo, Liberia or Rwanda, I can't say that I won't ever do this kind of work. I am particularly interested in emergency education. A new aspect of the humanitarian sector, I can see myself getting involved in this kind of work if I had the opportunity. Since I have already taken the RedR UK course Essentials of Humanitarian Practice, (the centerpiece of our program in Pittsburgh) I would probably be qualified, considering my 20 years of teaching, to work in a project like this.
