Hi Alexandra—you can also try www.aidworkers.net, similar to LS, for the NGO community.

chad is a hard place to go unless you’re attached. i was there last year photographing for the international medical corps and getting from Ndjamena to abeche and then to the camps is quite a beurocratic process. i’m not sure if it’s something you’d feel comfortable with, but i know that there is a bus, which takes about two days to travel from Ndjamena to abeche by dirt road….could be an interesting thing to shoot and would save you a bundle because chad is quite expensive. there’s also a safe and relatively cheap hotel called the sahel i believe, which will be loads cheaper than the meridian or novotel, which run nearly 200+ a night unless you get the “UN rate”
