You need to sit down and listen to Hana’ Abdullah Raja Jum’ah who has accrued over 113 months in humanitarian, fragile and development contexts including Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Algeria and Tunisia.

In Episode 6 of Season 7, you listen how Hana, while studying Geology, developed a taste for volunteering and has one of the most remarkable stories of volunteerism in peace & social change; her tenure at Generations for Peace; and ultimately developing a wide range of skills and field work experience leading her to work with OIM, Mercy Corps, FHI360, Queen Rania Foundation, Oxfam and others.

Hana reflects on the future of field work in the covid-19 reality; how it is to be a field worker as a woman and her tips for starting a career in the field.
