Aaron Rippenkroeger on working in Darfur - IRC Voices

Selflessness and dedication, even amidst overwhelming obstacles these are two of the qualities exhibited by IRC staff that made a lasting impression on Aaron Rippenkroeger, currently IRC's deputy vice president of US Programs. In this week's IRC Voices, Aaron recalls the year he spent working in South Darfur, and says that despite the challenges of working in overcrowded conditions, it turned out to be the most fulfilling work experience of my entire life.

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.

IRC Voices: Alyoscia D'Onofrio

Alyoscia D'Onofrio, International Rescue Committee regional director for the Great Lakes region of Africa, calls the IRC a beacon of hope. Its also a home for Alyoscia, who is now in his eleventh year at the organization. He recalls working in eastern Congo during an insurgent uprising and helping demobilized children who had fought with militia groups. Most of all, Alyoscia remembers the tenacity and courage IRC Congolese staff displayed during difficult time.
