IRC Voices: Michael Kocher

 Michael Kocher, VP of International Programs, ruminates on his experiences in Aceh, Indonesia post-tsunami. Michaels moving words, coupled with dramatic photos, capture the cataclysmic damage of the tsunami. What Michael remembers most vividly, however, is the commitment and grace of his national staff colleagues, one in particular who insisted on coming to work immediately after losing his family.

IRC Voices: Alyoscia D'Onofrio

Alyoscia D'Onofrio, International Rescue Committee regional director for the Great Lakes region of Africa, calls the IRC a beacon of hope. Its also a home for Alyoscia, who is now in his eleventh year at the organization. He recalls working in eastern Congo during an insurgent uprising and helping demobilized children who had fought with militia groups. Most of all, Alyoscia remembers the tenacity and courage IRC Congolese staff displayed during difficult time.

IRC Voices: Bob Montgomery

"Having served in Vietnam, I felt I owed something to the Vietnamese people," says Bob Montgomery, executive director of US Programs in San Diego, explaining his decision to start working at the IRC thirty-two years ago.  To Bob, the IRC means a new opportunity for people who have lost everything.  He discusses IRC San Diego's micro-enterprise program, which has helped refugees open more than 100 businesses and strengthened another 100.  "That's success," says Bob.
