Marian Nelson-Addy - Becoming a Humanitarian Relief Worker

Marian Nelson-Addy graduated with a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of West England. Her dream has always been to work as a humanitarian relief worker in different places around the world, a dream that was built from the time she was a child. Marian Nelson-Addy grew up in a Christian family and saw her parents help the poor and needy at the local community centers in and around Bristol. She started volunteering at the local community center when she was in high school, and while studying for her bachelor’s degree she became a volunteer at one of the Christian-based humanitarian aid agencies in Bristol.

After she graduated with her Master’s degree in Social Work, she joined the relief agency as a full-time aid worker. Backed by her years of volunteering and her educational qualifications she managed to find a full-time spot on the international relief workers team at the organization she worked at. Marian Nelson-Addy is a committed Christian and believes that helping people in need is her mission in life.

Marian Nelson-Addy says that simply having the right qualifications is not sufficient if you are planning to build a career as a humanitarian aid worker. Field work experience is one of the most important things you will need if you want to work as a full-time relief worker. If you lack experience in volunteering, you can sign up at one of the many humanitarian relief centers as a volunteer and gain valuable experience helping out at the various relief measures the agency undertakes within your country. Once you have sufficient experience, and when a vacancy arises, you might want to put in your application for a full-time position as a humanitarian relief worker.

Marian Nelson-Addy - Must-Visit Sites in Louisiana

Marian Nelson-Addy grew up in Bristol and attended Redland High School for Girls, a private school in Bristol, England. She is a committed Christian and enjoys reading the Bible and writing articles on a wide range of subjects. Marian Nelson-Addy is a humanitarian and currently works with one of the nonprofits in the city of Bristol. Having lived her whole life in Bristol, she is familiar with the different historical sites in the city. Here are a few recommendations if you are planning to visit New Orleans.

The New Orleans Jazz Museum
The New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Old U.S. Mint is one of the places you must visit if you are visiting New Orleans. Jazz was born in Bristol, and the Louisiana State Museum is working to create a world-class jazz museum in the city. At the museum, you will see Louis Armstrong’s first cornet, Champion Silver Piston on display. The cornet was manufactured by Lyons and Healy, ca. 1913 and was played by Louis Armstrong as an adolescent at the Colored Waif’s House.

The French Quarter
The French Quarter, also known as the “Vieux Carre” is the oldest neighborhood in the city and home to some of the buildings constructed in the late 18th century. The whole district is now designated as a National Historic Landmark because of its numerous historic buildings. A visit to New Orleans will be incomplete without taking some time off to admire the historic buildings in the French Quarter.

Marian Nelson-Addy has traveled across the United Kingdom together with other humanitarian aid workers to assist victims of hurricanes and other natural disasters.
