| Yesterday on the Voices on Genocide Prevention podcast, IRC advocacy director Shannon Meehan spoke with interviewer Jerry Fowler about the IRC’s mission, her work with refugees (”They are the most resilient, incredibly dynamic people I have met in my life”), and how she became involved in humanitarian issues (the Peace Corps was one early step along the way).
Shannon also spoke about her trip earlier this year to the Democratic Republic of Congo, where IRC studies are documenting the lingering impact of conflict there: people dying of easily preventable and treatable diseases because they don’t have access to basic health care. Link |
