Jean Calder

Jean Elizabeth Calder (born about 1937) is an Australian rehabilitation specialist and humanitarian worker who has spent more than 25 years working with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in refugee camps and with disabled people in Lebanon, Gaza and Egypt.
Following being made a Companion of the Order of Australia (Australia's highest honour) in 2005, SBS broadcast a half-hour documentary, "Doctor of Hope", on Calder's humanitarian work with the disabled and disadvantaged in the Middle East. It was presented by George Negus and reported by Elizabeth Tadic.
Calder's autobiography, "Where the Road Leads: An Australian Woman’s Journey of Love and Determination", was published by Hachette Australia in 2007. Reviewer Heather Pavitt admired her "absolute dedication" to her work with "underprivileged, disabled Palestinians".
