I’ve covered many stories on a wide range of topics since I began writing for an international humanitarian organization in 2003. Many were heartbreaking, several were edifying, but all were elucidating in their own right. The collection featured below are some of my favorites, followed by articles, blogs, and press releases by category. My apologies for the poor quality of the photos and PDFs; the originals were stored on a laptop that was stolen in 2015, along with many other unique articles, slideshows, and videos (Don’t forget to back up your files to the cloud, kids!)
