Pros and cons of being a humanitarian aid worker - Salud everywhere Being an aid worker is a life experience, with lights and shadows, both personally and professionally.

There were a thousand articles out there about pros and cons of working in international development and humanitarian aid. Now there are a thousand and one. Little is new, probably, but it Salud Everywhere needed some words about it... saludeverywhere.com/en/humanitar...

Any recommended family board game that our 5 year old can also play? So far, Carcassonne and Ticket to Ride (the normal versions) have been great!

¿Recomendaciones de juegos de mesa chulos para jugar en familia incluyendo a un peque de 5-6 años? (Adaptando un poco las normas) El Carcassonne y el Aventureros al Tren, en sus versiones de mayores, por ahora funcionan guay.

Catherine O'Hara era una cómica todoterreno.

Alcanzó la fama como la madre que dejaba 'Sólo en casa' a Kevin, o la Moira Rose de 'Schitt's Creek', pero en sus inicios destacó como un gran imitadora.

Como prueba, su Katharine Hepburn.
Este #MakeEmLaugh va por ella.

This is not a recent text. It was written nearly thirty years ago and was read by the President of @msf.org
(Dr. James Orbinski) in his acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the organization in 1999.

A fragment of MSF's 1999 Nobel Peace Prize Award acceptance speech.

These three paragraphs help me understand, at the same time, why humanitarian action is and will continue to be necessary, and why it precisely irritates those responsible for the unpunished political failures behind every humanitarian emergency and the suffering of the people affected.

US government to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities in Europe State department grants to spread ‘American values’ are part of Washington’s 250th anniversary celebrations

This is MAGA ideological imperialism.

It's disguised as a "free speech" crusade. In reality, the Trump admin seeks to coerce Europe into deregulating digital environments to enable unimpeded extremist content that radicalises voters into supporting far-right populists.

España no es una empresa que puedas comprar. Ni nuestro pueblo una red que intoxicar.

Lo que odias es que un gobierno democrático ponga límites a los oligarcas tecnológicos como tú.

The golden age of vaccine development - Works in Progress Magazine The first vaccine was a lucky accident. Now we can design new vaccines in weeks, atom by atom.

NEW article by me!

We can now visualize pathogens down to atoms; design vaccines in weeks; manufacture them in microbial factories; engineer them more precise than ever before.

We're living through a golden age of vaccine development, but only if we continue to invest in them.

I believe this number is shocking, but also a huge underestimate. Diseases and conditions hardly show liniair growth in their impact. Take Malaria. One season of missed community interventions can make it radically expand. There are also major cuts in health workforce and training. #globalhealth

A este ritmo, en unos años, nuestros hijos van a flipar cuando les contemos que antes los países destinaban una pequeñita cantidad de sus fondos públicos a aliviar el sufrimiento en emergencias humanitarias... Les parecerá ciencia ficción.

Ottawa to focus foreign aid efforts on building ‘mutual prosperity’ with trading partners, MP says Comments come as the federal government moves to slash $2.7-billion from the foreign aid budget over four years

Under new policy, Canadian foreign aid must now be profitable to Canada says Minister Randeep Sarai.

How will that help people in need of shelter, facing atrocities, or needing protection from disease?

But on the other hand, it also motivates me, because I believe younger humanitarian workers need to understand the history behind such important initiatives as the Core Humanitarian Standards, ALNAP, or the Sphere Handbook.

On the one hand, this makes writing about these topics quite difficult for me, as I feel very small when I read about so many inspiring people who accomplished such great things.

Sometimes I have the impression that those of us who started working in humanitarian action and international cooperation fifteen years ago barely understand in depth everything that shaped the humanitarian system as we know it today.

Humanitarian reform after the 1994 Rwanda crisis - Salud everywhere The genocide and major humanitarian crisis in Rwanda in 1994 marked a turning point in the history of humanitarian action.

Today I published the page that, so far, has been the most difficult for me to write on Salud Everywhere. In it, I have tried to analyze the 1994 Rwanda crisis and the impact it had on the humanitarian system.
