Since joining the IRC in 1999, Janet Harris, the IRC's Vice President of Development, has worked to ensure that the IRC maintains its ability to provide lifesaving services to displaced people around the world. In this week's IRC Voices, Janet recalls a moving encounter from her first trip to Congo with the IRC in 2001 that she has not been able to forget. About Voices: For over 75 years, the International Rescue Committeehas been responding to the world's worst crises. Meet some of our extended family: dedicated IRC staff members who tackle enormous challenges to change lives; courageous refugees we've led through their journeys from harm to home; and committed leaders, thinkers and supporters who help us protect human freedom and dignity. www.theIRC.org
