Special Episode: Responding to Typhoon Yagi

With Skye Maconachie

Today’s guest is Skye Maconachie, co-CEO of Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation.

I sat down with Skye at Blue Dragon’s busy office in Hanoi to discuss the organization’s ongoing response to Typhoon Yagi, which killed at least 262 people; the needs of flood-hit communities in the capital; the difficult situation in mountainous areas ravaged by deadly landslides; the importance of long-term support; and the resilience of the people of Vietnam.

This episode was recorded on a phone, so the audio quality isn’t as strong as a regular show.
