I joined the "Contest to find the worst examples of donations intended to help people in disasters.

If you click on this link you can read my entries for this odd award with three stories, one from Pakistan about a boatload of donated left shoes, the second when pallets of Milk of Magnesia plagued us in Afghanistan, and finally the donation of iron tablets for our clinic in the Afghan refugee camp to prevent and treat iron deficiency.  Sadly it was mis-labeled and wasn't iron but something else altogether.   The website is called "good intentions".  It is written by aid workers and international development specialists and covers all aspects of disaster, relief and development work.

Worth a look!  Whether you work in international development or want to figure out ways to be of use in situations such as Haiti or, just to check out what we hear from the media.
