This is an interview that will stay with you. It’s difficult, unsettling, and absolutely inspiring.
There are very few people who’ve experienced life like James Orbinski - doctor, humanitarian, activist . He’s had unforgettable experiences on the front lines of aid: Somalia during its civil war and famine, Afghanistan as the Taliban came to power, and Rwanda during its horrific genocide.
And though he’s witnessed the very worst of human behaviour, he has also witnessed the best. People willing to sacrifice the greatest gift of all – their life – to help those in need.
James spent years with the int’l aid organization Médecins sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) that received the Nobel Peace Prize under his leadership in 1999. Today he’s director of the Dadaleh Institute for Global Health Research at York University.
He continues to work for a better tomorrow – for everyone.
