Developing Global Partnerships: How Organizations Work Together in a Crisis

with Sonia Khush

“Developing Global Partnerships” has been our theme for a series of programs this year. The tsunami of Dec. 26, 2004, was an example of how organizations from all over the world can join together to work in a crisis. Numerous American and international organizations worked quickly to provide relief for victims of the tsunami.

Sonia Khush is the program manager of the Children in Emergencies and Crisis Department of Save the Children, the leading independent organization for children in need in the United States and around the world. Khush is often deployed to conflict zones and natural disasters to start relief programs quickly. She was deployed to Banda Aceh, Indonesia, in the aftermath of the tsunami.

She has also worked in Baghdad and Basra, Iraq, the West Bank and Gaza, Egypt, and the former Soviet Union. She holds a master’s degree in international economics and Middle East studies from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and a bachelor’s degree from Tufts University. Her lecture will be accompanied by a videotape.
