Richard Ragan - UN World Food Program Director and Representative. From Mississippi, USA... he was also the first American Family allowed to live in North Korea. Lived in Beijing for a while to (both times working with the UN). The interview went great...I'm 99.9% sure that I'll use what he said to narrate part of my story. Not only did I ask him about the UN Food Program and what they do, but I asked him to give a little bit about strikes in general to use with the multimedia.
Also he's interested in my book, would like to publish it with the WFP logo in the back to show Bandhs affect. After which we would have an exhibition. I told him that I can return mid-december to work on this.
I'm also trying to get to one of the camps to which they deliver food. The only one that I would be able to get credentials would be for the Bhutanese Refugee camps near Biratnagar. I told them that I need to leave as soon as possible (leaving Nepal October 22nd). A 3 day trip in Nepal can easily turn into a 3 week trip.
