I've been trying (unsuccessfully so far) to obtain a copy of the following document. Gould, H. (1996) The Art of Survival, Investigating creativity in humanitarian aid and development. Working Paper 3, Comedia. It will be too late to be utilised for my MA thesis but I am still very keen to read it. Can you help?

I am interested in how creative arts and activities are contributing to social change and transformation of societies. My current research focuses on the rural Mayan communities in Guatemala who have been marginalised and persecuted over the decades with years of civil war scarring their identities, community cohesiveness and ability to obtain representation as citizens. Widespread poverty, social exclusion, malnutrition and socially embedded norms of violence are topics that are being addressed through the creative arts to generate discussion and change.
