I don't have my own blog so I get extra extra credit for doing this JUST on aid source :) Also, this is quick and dirty. I just opened up a window and am going to start typing--for half an hour since that's how much time I have just now. So here goes! (oh and views mine, not employers etc etc).

It’s new and exciting but to be honest, also a bit scary (ok, MORE than a bit) to be putting myself out there like this. I’m doing it because I DO think it’s important and something missing in our sector.
I’m enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I am learning to become a Health and Lifestyle Coach. I am now officially…

Thanks Z. I'm working on the road, so if you want to chat any time is cool. And yeah of course a coffee or drink when I'm back in New York. Which organization? You peaked my curiosity!

Hey Zehra, How are you? Thanks for the compliment on our org, Humanitarian Bazaar, and for following. I have been wanting to be a part of an aid worker social circle in New York for some time, so I will try to catch up for a drink or one of these dinners soon! Right now I'm on the road for a few weeks, but will be back in New York soon! Hope you are well, - Daniel
