Tonight I helped out the MSF Canada fundraising team during an event for regular and larger donors to the organization. It is now 31 years ago that I started working for them in November 1988.... The world in which the current staff members - some 42,000 around the world - work in is more complex.
One of the auditoriums at the University of Toronto was well filled with interested donors who came to listen to several current experts of MSF on the topic of how global warming is already impacting global security and health. One of the speakers talked about water and sanitation. After field work he now is a researcher at York University in the team led by our friend James Orbinski, who was one of the former International Presidents of the MSF movement (he gave the acceptance speech on behalf of MSF in Norway when we were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999).
