NewCanadian Articles: Aid workers in crisis, commerce with a conscience, Bryan Adams Q&A
Just catching up on some clips from the Spring issue of the NewCanadian.
One story in particular struck home for me. I had a chance to sit down with a friend-of-a-friend who had spent the last few years of his life as an aid worker in some of the most troubled parts of the world. Hearing his story and then looking into the toll that this type of work takes on aid workers was fascinating and challenging. (Download, PDF)
My second feature is about companies that are trying to incorporate social responsibility into their operations. (Download, PDF)
The last story is a chat with rocker Bryan Adams. (Download, PDF)
