World Humanitarian Day 2011
About Take Action Safety & Security 2011 Campaign


Last year World Humanitarian Day featured a film shot across 43 countries. It showcased the enormous diversity of places, faces and endeavours of humanitarian aid workers.

This year, we re-visit two humanitarian workers from the original film to take a closer, more personal look at what drives them in their commitment to improve the lives of others. In one story Marco Dormino talks about working closely with a family in Haiti. In another, trauma surgeon Dr. Omar Saleh explains his passion - saving lives in Somalia.

We also hear from two inspiring women - Juliette Murekeyisoni and Fatuma Adan Mohammed grew up as refugees and now work for aid organizations.
