A short story about why we’re here

Back in 2015, I spent nine months volunteering with a range of not-for-profits across the world, from India to Tanzania.

During that time, I saw the underbelly of voluntourism and some weird dynamics at play in the broader international aid sector.

I also realised the stories that I’d been told about these places growing up didn’t match the reality on the ground. Instead of the expected chaos and disaster, I found happy and healthy people that I had an incredible amount in common with.

So I decided to make the books I wished I’d had growing up. Books that tell the story of what it’s really like to grow up in faraway places, as told by people who actually live there.
