As you can see, the year 1999 was a very fruitful year for me. Working in the frontline of emergency aid operation of such a large scale was a very gratifying experience for someone who has chosen this job as a career. Tragedies like this, whether caused by nature or man, are despicable. But there are people who are willing to put everything aside at the spur of the moment in order to offer help to the best of their ability, and if that thought itself can be of some comfort to those is despair, then I am encouraged. I believe efforts to promote WFP s accomplishments is a way to praise the colleagues who are working under the harsh conditions in the field, as well as many of those who had unfortunately lost their lives in the midst of their missions.
Comments are welcome.
