    Siddharth Ashvin Shah, M.D., M.P.H. CEO Siddharth is a physician, public health scientist, and educator who seeks to change the way we regard our society’s helpers, healers, and protectors -- people and organizations who operate in demanding and traumatic environments. His early pursuit of improving systems of wellbeing and helping helpers led him to become one of the few physicians dedicated to serving the first responder and healthcare workforce. Clients experience his interdisciplinary thinking as he Brings together the humanities, social sciences, common sense preventive medicine, cross-cultural resilience and spiritual practices, trauma-informed care, and cutting-edge neuroscientific thinking distilled for real-world applications. Siddharth founded Greenleaf Integrative, and he proudly serves as CEO in order to bring exponential value to its clients, as well as prioritizing a mindful internal culture for its staff. The company grew out of his international consulting to governments, healthcare organizations, NGOs, and the private sector in the areas of chronic high stress, brain health, trauma resiliency, strategic communications, and leadership effectiveness. Before Greenleaf Integrative, he conducted a private practice at the GW Center for Integrative Medicine in Washington, DC. Prior to coming to the DC metro area, Siddharth headed the Preventive Medicine Residency Program at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, along with a faculty appointment in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, NYC. Dr. Shah’s expertise and publications span integrative medicine, staff care, disaster- related traumatic stress, vicarious traumatization, resilience, implicit/unconscious bias, cross-cultural competence, and even laughter yoga.

  • Rana, Pranaya. 2015. City of Dreams
    BOOK REVIEWS | 427 on development intervention in which people and communities are the mere subjects of large scale development interventions. Fujikura tries to reverse this thinking by showing how people actively build and revise discourses of development, empowerment, participation and rights based on their choices and needs, like in the kamaiyà liberation movement, by using the approaches and methods popular in development practices. Secondly, Fujikura offers very interesting insights to the understanding of the Maoist movement and the kamaiyà liberation movement with detailed ethnographic observation. One would wish that Fujikaru had discussed at some more length the role (and place) of the anthropologist in fieldwork setting where s/he actively shares the concerns and aspirations of the people under study. His active involvement in and support to the kamaiyà liberation movement as a fieldworker should have been augmented by his own reflections on the anthropologist’s place in the multilayered ethnographic context. This would have provided some additional flavor to the overall insights of the book. The expressions of the respondents, which Fujikura presents to make his case on some key aspects of development, awareness and social movements would have needed more intensive examination. It is not unusual that respondents often have readymade answers on certain aspects of their agency which may not necessarily reflect the social realities which they live and interact with. The expressions, for example, of Comrade Jamuna, Parvati Adhikari, Yagyaraj Chaudhari, Dar Bahadur and Indra Bahadur need to be examined against the complex social and economic realities of their everyday lives. People often have multiple statements to fit multiple contexts.

Nitze School of The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced Advanced International Studies or Johns International Studies (SAIS) Hopkins University. 1740 Massachusetts Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 Cover photo by: Pierre Holtz for OCHA, Creative Commons License 2.0 The Dangerous Business of Aid: A Report on the Risks to Aid Workers in the Field Introduction Over the past decades, a steady flow of articles have warned of the dangers to aid workers, but decried the lack of rigorous study. However, in the last several years various investigations have provided good data on a number of threats to aid workers. Although much remains to be done, there is growing evidence to prove that aid work is an increasingly dangerous business. Increased awareness of the risks to aid workers comes at a time when the field is growing rapidly. A study by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) shows that the humanitarian worker population alone has more than doubled from 136,204 in 1997 to over 290,000 in 2008 (Stoddard, Harmer, and Haver 2006; 2009). The purpose of this report is to give the International Development Department of Johns Hopkins University’s Paul H.

Throughout the year, CNI has worked tirelessly to promote private sector and advocated for appropriate legislative policy reforms and towards improving the working environment necessary for an investment friendly climate in Nepal. Unfortunately we stand today in the wake of tragic loss of life and property as a result of the devastating earthquake that hit our country on April 25. I, on behalf of CNI, would like to extend our deepest condolences to all those who lost their near and dear ones because of this earthquake. It has been testing times for our country but we as a nation have shown our resilience and strength, working together in this process of rebuilding our nation. It is in this belief that we can not only overcome this tragedy but come back stronger and with a revitalized economy that is why we have themed this year’s 12th Annual General Meeting as ‘Build Back Better’ to look at the opportunities and challenges in building a better Nepal. CNI is highly positive that we can stand and come together in this nation building process and that the role of the business community is ever more important in taking the rebuilding process forward.
