National library week: save a thriving community! Yikes This morning, I was daydreaming through my morning coffee when I remembered a thought that I had all the way back in November.

Humanitarian aid workers love acronyms. That is why it would be improper for me to pen a piece on aid workers without at least one: SAFHAWS. What makes us tick? Why have we chosen the paths we have? What are our individual stories? Why are we single? Do we choose to be? Is this an either / or question? 7 thoughts...
