Teslinhiker, all the best to your SO in her humanitarian work. One of my partners has a daughter who does similar work in Africa . He sweats bullets about her safety! If its ultimately consistent with her safety and security, I hope you can tell us more about the course content. Are you or her sponsoring organization providing an individual E&E kit? Do you have a content list that you can share? Urban emergency kits (different in content by about 50% than she would need) are a particular interest of mine. I recently posted my kit contents in the Urban Forum. Besides exercising good sense, having locals' support and an evac plan, I think U S Dollars are the best survival tool in a getaway situation.
