摘要

Michele Young, regional shelter and construction adviser, Save the Children In January 2010 I was 4,410m above sea level in Dingboche, Nepal, with an acute pulmonary oedema. Time enough to reflect on one's career. By the time a hired horse had got me down to 3,840m I had decided to leave commercial architecture and involve myself in international development. In September of that year I started an MA in Development and Emergency Practice at Oxford Brookes University.
