Chasing Chaos: My Decade in and Out of Humanitarian Aid Alexander JessicaPaperback
Jessica Alexander arrived in Rwanda in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide as an idealistic intern, eager to contribute to the work of the international humanitarian aid community. It was messy, chaotic, and difficult--but she was hooked.In this honest and irreverent memoir, she introduces readers to the realities of life as an aid worker. But the world that she encountered in the field was dramatically different than anything she could have imagined.
But we also see the alcohol-fueled parties and fleeting romances, the burnouts and self-doubt, and the struggle to do good in places that have long endured suffering.Tracing her personal journey from wide-eyed and na ve newcomer to We watch as she manages a 24,000-person camp in Darfur, collects evidence for the Charles Taylor trial in Sierra Leone, and contributes to the massive aid effort to clean up a shattered Haiti.
