Would I do it again ?? Yes for sure ! There is now doubt in my mind.

I’d started working at TNT for the Mail division to give operational support in a Christmas Cards campaign. Last week it seemed like going back 10 years where that first stamping job started for me.

After participating in the School Feeding volunteer Programme in Nicaragua in 2007 I have a new possibility of being part in another project helping WFP. That’s why I'm in Santo Domingo Dominican Republic since 10 days in the Emergency Response Team from TNT. I'm working in the Logistics Team of WFP, assisting the people harmed by Haiti’s earthquake on 12 January.

I will always remember the idea of having our own T-shirt with: “No problem on one side and “Only Solutions” on the other side. The expression resumes perfectly the type of mentality heading people’s mind when facing challenges

Can you imagine 600 trucks! This row is longer as they Sven Kramer needed to skate in the longest distends in the Olympics.

The nature of the work here is starting to shift form emergency material to maintenance material. No more high energy biscuits and ready-to-eat meals but more things like tents, corn, rice, and flower. More and more material is coming in by ship. I have a control function here now; I’m checking the invoices of the subcontractors. This has not been done yet so there is lots to check.

Over here, everything is different than at home and every day is different than the day before.

At the moment we are using the ports of Santa Domingo for off loading the food and relief materials. We have two ports here, Caucedo and Haina. Yesterday we were off loading from an Italian Navy vessel.
