People In Aid
People In Aid is an international, not-for-profit membership organisation with offices in the UK, Australia and East Africa. Its aim is to improve organisational effectiveness within the humanitarian and development sector worldwide by advocating, supporting and recognising good practice in the management of people. People In Aid implements this vision through use of the People In Aid Code which outlines seven key principles for effective people management.

History
Established by agencies in the humanitarian and development sector in 1995, People In Aid has grown from a small membership organisation into a global resource for NGOs. People In Aid maintains a focus on the quality of human resources and people management in the relief and development sector.
1995
A research report published in 1995 called Room for Improvement found weaknesses in existing organisational structures in humanitarian and development groups which lead to 'poor performance by staff, so diminishing the quality of programmes'. The agencies which initiated the research, and the British government, established an inter-agency project, hired a coordinator and recruited a management committee of 12 organisations.

The Kid Goes Wild
by: Babylon A.d.Whoa!
Bad Billy
Billy went drivin' on a Saturday night
Headed for trouble with a bottle of wine
He took his pistol and his shotgun, ready for action
Flyin' higher than a rocket out of control
He said I ain't got money
I ain't got fame
But after tonight they're gonna know my name
Angry and young, under the gun
The kid goes wild!
Rebel alone, heart of a stone
The kid goes wild!
The kid goes wild!
Billy pulled up to Big Jim's Liquor Store
Pulled his pistol and demanded his pay
They say he shot that man straight thru the head, no passion
Now bad young Billy's got the Law on his trail
A cold blood murder
For twenty and change
The very next day the newspaper read
Angry and young, under the gun
The kid goes wild!
Rebel alone, heart of a stone
The kid goes wild!
The kid goes wild!
Wild!
Bad Billy
Billy's on the run tonight he's a nightmare
Fire burnin' in his eyes
Blood's boiling hot
Hell bent and out of control
He's out of control
"Oh, you fucken cops! You'll never gonna get me. You'll never take me alive! You
pull that fucken gun, you'd better use it! Cuz I'm not going down and I'm not going
to jail and I'm not doing any fucken time! This is my night! I'm alive!!!
Ow! Angry and young, under the gun
The kid goes wild!
Rebel alone, heart of a stone
The kid goes wild!
Angry and young, under the gun
The kid goes wild!
Rebel alone, heart of a stone
The kid goes wild!
Angry and young, under the gun
The kid goes wild!
Rebel alone, heart of a stone
The kid goes wild!
Angry and young, under the gun
The kid goes wild!
Rebel alone, heart of a stone
