The IRC Blog tells the story of the IRC's humanitarian aid efforts in staff members' own words and pictures. August 2007 Visit our brand-new blog, Voices from the Field. There's a new name and a new look, but -- as always -- you’ll hear from refugees, IRC humanitarian workers, activists and volunteers around the globe. They’ll be sharing their own stories, from the front lines of regions torn apart by violence to the front porches of U.S. towns where the IRC is helping uprooted families make a fresh start. And we’ve added commenting, so now you’ll be able to add your own voice to the mix. We want to hear from you!
