Illustrated with photographs reflecting the reality of two of her assignments in Africa and Asia (and some unusual handicrafts), We Still Wrote Letters Then offers readers insights into situations across the world so far removed from the lives of family members living in peaceful Britain. It is also a testament to the authors parents, whose letters demonstrate their dignity, modesty, and open-mindedness, and whose support buoyed the author throughout her many years working on fascinating and potentially alarming assignments overseas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiana Miserez, aware of the decline of letter-writing culture, felt compelled to publish a collection of letters exchanged between her and her parents during her tenure as a humanitarian aid worker with the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the International Red Cross. The book is adorned with photographs that depict the realities of her assignments in Africa and Asia, along with some unique handicrafts. We Still Wrote Letters Then provides a glimpse into the lives of people in far-flung regions, contrasting them with the peaceful lives of family members residing in Britain. It serves as a tribute to the authors parents, whose letters showcase their dignity, modesty, and open-mindedness. Their unwavering support played a crucial role in sustaining the author throughout her captivating and sometimes perilous overseas endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 688g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 165 x 241 x 27 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781915352446\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diana Miserez","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094500667642,"sku":"9781915352446","price":10.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1675430948940_book.jpg?v=1676013228","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/we-still-wrote-letters-then-reflections-of-two-years-in-the-life-of-a-humanitarian-aid-worker-9781915352446","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
