Our Teams on the Ground

Recently we put together a special edition focusing on the Haiti emergency and the WFP teams remarkable efforts. It contained stories about the different areas we work in - Aviation, shipping etc.. giving lots of facts and figures about how much food we have moved, how many aircraft we have moblised etc.. Informative, yes. However, feedback before we published came in - 'Where's the human side? The stats come in daily. Tell us about our staff down there. What is life like for them?' And so, what has it been like for those on the ground? The answer: 'Exhausting!'.
