IRC Voices: Michael Kocher - Tsunami Relief

Michael Kocher, the International Rescue Committee's VP of International Programs, ruminates on his experiences in Aceh, Indonesia post-tsunami. Michael's moving words, coupled with dramatic photos, capture the cataclysmic damage of the tsunami. What Michael remembers most vividly, however, is the commitment and grace of his national staff colleagues, one in particular who insisted on coming to work immediately after losing his family.
