Humanitarian Field Guide: Ideas, Inspiration, Methods and Tools: Resources and Tools to Create Change in the World

"Change the world." It always struck me that saying that sounded a lot like grandiose hubris, or at best, a dauntingly overwhelming task. The utter impossibility of it seemed certain until I realized that it can mean helping one person at a time. That is a theme you'll see throughout this book and our websites and our work. I have added some of my Linkedin Influencer blogs/essays that I hope may be inspirational, also. The format of this book is inspired by Brian Eno's A Year With Swollen Appendices, not so much the diary aspect but rather the overwhelmingly large collection of information in the various appendices. Additionally, this book is an "analog" version, if you will, of the content and links found at the CenterForGlobalInitiatives.org website and the associated DropBox account. Open-Sourced Humanitarian Interventionism It's long been my goal to make life easier for those working in humanitarian and volunteer endeavors, as well as those in need of help. Indeed, in one way or another, we all need help in one form or another. So, just about everything you find herein and on the Center's website, is free of charge, and a lot you could also find for yourself. What I've tried to do is speed up the search, vet what has been found, and then curate the results, making them as readily and easily available as I know how to. This is my dream of open-sourcing humanitarian work. Current Content, For Pretty Close To Forever The reason for this "reverse engineering" is twofold. First, the amount of content and links on the Center's website may not always be apparent to the novel user. This book allows for near complete exposure to the functional tools and content that await the online user. Second, this book will never be out-of-date, in that when new content becomes available via uploads to the DropBox account, you'll be able to read that as well. All you have to do is email me and ask to be linked (I'm at DrChrisStout@gmail.com). I curate the content constantly. You can also request being added to our mailing list via my email address as well if you'd like to be kept up-to-date on events and other relevant content. We welcome your joining! All proceeds from sales of this book will be donated to the Center for Global Initiatives.
