"There were examples such as helicopters laden with emergency relief supplies landing in the (equally devastated) wrong village, and questioning the local leaders to ensure they were in the right place. When asked, if incorrect, people would direct them to the correct village despite needing those same supplies." it is amazing I also agree with the aid worker that demonizing the military hasn't helped and will not help in the future either. we need to engage to build trust! thanks again for this interview great interview!!! thank you so much.
