Psychosocial Assistance Without Borders

On Jan 28th, PAWB's Siddharth Shah teamed up with Banyan Education's David Harshada Wagner to provide training to youth volunteers who are working in a tsunami affected village called Seenigama.

The Sinhala translator (seen here in a white shirt) proved to be an excellent match because he was a retired social worker who had worked his whole life with at-risk youth. PAWB's mission is to reduce the risk of secondary trauma unduly affecting humanitarian workers.
