Paths to Red Cross: How one Canadian became an international aid worker

We all have different stories of what drew us to work with the Red Cross. Chiran Livera, a Canadian aid worker currently working for the IFRC, was drawn to international aid work due to his love for travel and his desire to help those affected by disaster. After some work with his local Red Cross branch in Canada responding to local emergencies and disasters, Chiran set his sights on working internationally with the organization. He was in Gambia earlier this year where he worked on projects to help support community resilience and recently sent us this dispatch from Namibia where the Red Cross is helping respond to flooding.
