Our conversation delved into the significant shifts in humanitarian aid, memorable experiences, overcoming challenges, and navigating the complexities of working in conflict zones. One piece of advice from Papa resonated deeply with me: prioritize people. In a world where humanitarian interventions can sometimes feel disjointed and detached from the communities we aim to serve, Papa's wisdom echoes the importance of listening to the voices of affected populations, designing interventions that are sensitive to their social and cultural contexts. I am sharing a snippet of wisdom from Papa Kysma with fellow aspiring humanitarian workers and anyone passionate about shaping the future of humanitarian work. Papa shared a strong message that- "Being a humanitarian worker, I have witnessed firsthand how haphazard humanitarian interventions can become when designed without input from the affected communities. To make our interventions truly impactful, we must prioritize people. We must listen, observe, and understand the needs of those we seek to assist." #HumanitarianWork #PrioritizingPeople #Inspiration
