Raise money for your favourite charity
We all know what it is like to be a soldier in a war zone from what we see on TV and in Hollywood
films. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an unarmed modern day international charity
worker in an active war zone, such as Somalia, Chad or Afghanistan?
Modern International aid work has the fifth highest job-related death rate in the world, and is the only
one for which the cause of death is predominantly intentional violence. Between 1997 and 2005, nearly as
many aid workers were killed in the line of duty as were international peacekeeping troops.
