2013-37 - Generation NGO, edited by Alisha Nicole Apale and Valerie Stam

37 - Generation NGO, edited by Alisha Nicole Apale and Valerie Stam
WHY I PICKED IT: Picked up at Word On The Street Book Fair
ELAPSED TIME: 10 Days
RATING: Very Good



This book, 10 essays detailing first experiences in the developing world, is fantastic.  It offers a reminder on ways to interact with those who live in the developing world, on the value that a young Westerner offers, on the challenges of fitting in “there” and the resulting challenge of fitting in “here.”  It’s about finding your path, and about the friendships that form.

I highly recommend this book to … gosh, anybody who has worked in the developing world (the book will serve as a reminder of your (first) experiences.  Or anybody who wants to work there (to see how others have done it).  Or anybody who has a passion for learning about other people and their experiences.  Or anybody.  (I really enjoyed this book!)
