To be a Red Crosser sometimes means you have to be ingenious about getting the job done, especially in a disaster response. And job location flexibility is always an asset when you work with a global humanitarian response agency.
But our disaster management coordinator from Thunder Bay, Dave Wright, has taken the idea of flexibility to a whole new level while working to help Kashechewan residents who are currently being sheltered following an evacuation of their community due to flooding.
His manager, Sharon Bak, who snapped this photo, explains the picture: “We had a small hotel room for an 'office' in one of the hotels initially, but there were many of us and it was quite crowded. So, Dave decided to make his own workspace so he could do some phone calls. I heard him say "I'm going into my office" and I found him there and took the picture.”
We admire your commitment to the Red Cross, Dave!
