In an interview with Forbes this month, she shared how she is feeling especially when her native country is going through turmoil. “You never know what you’re doing,” adding, “You don’t know if you’re rescuing or re-building.”
“That’s the constant battle when it comes to anything like this – it’s always ever-changing. When we started this originally, it was all about getting the refugees out and figuring out how to band-aid a problem until another country can come in with a billion dollars and do the right work. So, that’s initially what we did.”
She continued, “We just wanted to band-aid a problem really quickly and we knew how to do it and we knew how to do it quickly and fast and efficiently until someone came in who was bigger, better, and stronger than us. It happened like other countries stepped in and it all worked out in that regard.”
“As far as what’s happening within the country, you just have to keep it up in the news. I think as long as people read the news and stay educated hopefully on understanding the importance of the outcome of this war, that’s all I can ask for, to be honest,” she concluded by stating that she wants people to stay educated regarding the same.
