As images of Haiyan’s destruction flooded the media, an outpouring of humanitarian aid and volunteer responders from around the world descended into the affected regions to help. This episode is about the legacies of the monumental humanitarian effort that mobilized in the wake of Haiyan’s devastation. We’ll learn about NGO contributions to immediate relief and sustained efforts toward permanent housing. We’ll also hear about challenges in coordinating this massive response that led to inequities in aid distribution. Finally, we’ll hear how a mobile truck bar helped locals and foreign volunteers connect beyond a benefactor-beneficiary dynamic.
