‘This outstanding book asks the right questions, and is willing to explore hard answers that can lead to mutual respect and growth. It is a must read for the 21st century volunteer who wants to be more than the classical do-gooder.’
– James Orbinski MD, former international president of Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF)
