‘They put on a brave face to help other people, but they have private disasters of their own’

Dorothy Hector (World Food Programme) | Kathmandu

“One of the things about disasters is that people tend to forget that those who make the decisions, people in the government and local leaders, have experienced the same disaster too. Their families, their homes have all been affected. Yet they are still out there as public servants, doing their job. They put on a brave face to help other people, but they have private disasters of their own.”
