I am an aid dork

Yesterday I responded to a house fire with Red Cross, who I volunteer with. The call was very typical: single mom and her kids living with the grandmother, all of them surviving off of social security and other government benefits.

The leader on our response team works for the IMF, so we were joking in the car on the ride over about how NGOs (who I work for) are very anti-IMF. Today when one of the Red Cross staff found out that team leader works for the IMF, he asked: "Did you attach any conditions to our aid package designed to improve our client's budgetary discipline?"

I love it! (Yes, I am a dork.)
