It’s so inspiring to have the opportunity to talk to Dr. Yin Yin Nwe, the UNICEF Country Director for China, a year after the Sichuan earthquake. It’s really an eye-opening evening for me. I felt the click right away after our first conversation – perhaps because she was a geologist and can talk Bahasa Indonesia (she was UNICEF’s regional representative for Indonesia during the tsunami disasters couple years ago).
Below is the picture taken during the “An Evening of Ten-million Thank Yous” at The Richmond Gallery.

A special evening with Dr. Yin Yin Nwe, UNICEF's country Director of China, who spoke about her direct experience in leading UNICEF's emergency response in Sichuan, helping the people of China rebuild their lives.
I’ll write about her key note presentation in the second part.
