Bio
John Schenk
Maneli Aghakhan is a thorough professional whose humanitarian work is imbued with genuine concern for children, especially girls, and for women. I worked with her under the extreme pressure of an emergency response to an earthquake that claimed more than 20,000 lives in a matter of minutes (Bam, Iran, December 26, 2003). She was always individually prepared and resourceful as well as an inspiring member of our disaster team.
