So many of us are moved by images of worldwide humanitarian crisis we see across the world, poverty, corruption, war, disease, natural disasters ravaging often the 3rd world countries but as we saw more recently in Syria and Afghanistan people anywhere can become displaced and have their homes and lives destroyed, but there are a few who will be moved to travel to this places to mange the crisis and help. I say few, but thankfully there are many, Audrey Crawford my guest today is one such person. She has worked with UNHCR and the Danish Refugee Council among others going to the heart of humanitarian crisis and setting up home there for months on end. In this episode she talks to me about what her work entails and how in the midst of crisis setting people up with a sense of community is one of the most important tasks. You'll also hear how Audrey doesn't see her work as some courageous act but it's something she was very much drawn to do and is just a part of who she is.
