Humanitarian Instinct
A Syrian aid worker remains steadfast in her efforts, despite threats to her family and visiting a US-US-funded housing development in Haiti.
We meet an activist-turned-aid worker from Homs, and learn about the perils of doing humanitarian work in Syria. And, we visit a US-funded housing development in Haiti called Village la Difference.
Plus, language barriers in Kenya and the effort by Translators without Borders to break those barriers down. Meals on wheels in India versus Meals on Wheels in America. And grabbing a latte at Meow Parlour, New York City鈥檚 very first cat caf茅.
