Cambodia Calling: A Memoir from the Frontlines of Humanitarian Aid

I thought the book was interesting and insightful because it showed another side of international development work. The author shows the daily grind of working in a remote, sleepy very poor village. It's not glamorous, but shows the joys and difficulties of the work. I also thought the book was well written. It moves from lyrical descriptions of the places he visits to vivid descriptions of the characters he meets. It's very funny as he writes about some of the situations he finds himself in.

I bought this book and couldn't put it down. A phenomenal journey into the politics and trials of aid workers with deep insight into the day to day interactions of the people they help. Heinzl wrote a powerful book that provokes reflection on humanity and values.
