More than 60 million people are currently fleeing conflict or persecution around the world. Due to their race, religion or nationality, these people's homes are no longer safe places to live and their governments no longer provide them with protection. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) works around the world to provide refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) with everything they need from psychological care to lifesaving nutrition. We set up hospitals in refugee camps, we help women give birth safely, we vaccinate children to prevent epidemics and we provide access to safe drinking water. Here, some of our teams share their stories.

dream /drēm/ noun noun: dream; plural noun: dreams 1. a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep. ***** That is the dictionary definition of a dream. That is what dream means to 99% of the population. To have vivid hallucinations while asleep/sleeping. If only it were that amazing. Because for the other 1%, our dreams are fatal. We live in our dreams, unable to separate reality and the mist that is our Mind. We travel through our minds, rarely a waking moment when we aren’t in danger.

[NOTE: This book was written in 2010, a time of long-distance phone cards, weight-loss obsessions, and searching for a man as a solution to life's problems-what a messy time to be alive! In other words, I hope you enjoy this throwback, and while this book does end on a cliffhanger of sorts, the sequel addresses any unanswered questions (which is hopefully fair, given that book 1 is free, ya know?] An awkward family homecoming at Christmas. A humiliating public weigh-in, with two judging parents as the audience. The announcement of a deadline for arranged marriage doom. And that's just the first two chapters. In "Year of the Chick," Romi Narindra must find love before her parents find her a husband. Easy to say, less easy to live through, as this book takes you deep inside "awkward Indian living in the West." To escape her fate, Romi wades through the waters of secret-dating, where self-consciousness is at an all-time high, and experience at an all-time low. It's the sort of thing that would turn almost anyone into a man-crazy freak with romance tunnel-vision, and that's exactly what ends up happening. All the while, a lack of inspiration in her corporate job leads Romi to her love of writing, in what quickly becomes a man-quest play-by-play. From whiskey-breath scum bags to uni-brow creeps and everything in between, Romi and her wingmen come up empty time after time. And that's when she meets a fellow writer. On the Internet. So will it be arranged marriage doom, or an Internet affair that's not as creepy as "To Catch a Predator"? Time will tell in the "year of the chick," a twelve-month quest to find love. Tick-tock. --------------------------------------------- "Year of the Chick" is book one of a series, and book two is available at Amazon! LENGTH: 75,000 words or 285 pages DISCLAIMER: this book contains profanities, blunt accounts of the dating scene, and many awkward family moments. Enjoy!

Hey, whoever's reading. This is the crazy diary of an even crazier fourteen year old girl. And that's me, Ramona. I'm one of those people who prefers to stand out rather than fit in. To not go with the flow. Or as I say, I prefer to row upstream when the others are rowing downstream and vice versa. Get my point? Yes? Then, that's good. Because when you stumble upon the secret (or maybe, not so secret after all, since it's out in the open, now) diary of a usually unusual teenager, life might just get a little bit...crazier and funnier.

disclaimer: i began working on this book in 2012. i was twelve, and bored, so a majority of the first chapters are cheesy, or bizarre. my apologies. i'll do my best to give life advice for girls, however i doubt this will ever actually get to one thousand.
