As a nurse and a humanitarian aid worker she has battled against extreme poverty, disease epidemics and natural disasters, helping to rebuild broken lives and strengthen communities across the globe.From nursing in remote Indigenous communities in Australia`s Top End to re-building villages after the devastating Boxing Day Tsunami in Aceh, from fighting famine in Sub Saharan Africa to facing kidnapping on the war-torn streets of Mogadishu, from battling cyclone damage in PNG to heading up the Red Cross`s West African Ebola response, Amanda has faced huge challenges and collected incredible stories along the way.Emergencies Only is not a compendium of tragedy, but an eye-opening life-lesson in practicality, compassion and good humour, written with empathy and an eye for detail, and filled with the human stories that lie behind the headlines.Categories:Biography & AutobiographyYear:2017Publisher:Allen UnwinLanguage:EnglishPages:336 / 353ISBN 10:1760294217ISBN 13:9781760294212File:PDF, 185.59 MB Download (pdf, 185.59 MB)Toggle Dropdown Preview Send-to-Kindle or Email
