Former BBC foreign correspondent and Unicef senior communication officer Martin Dawes, now an Advocacy adviser at CDAC network, came into College to talk to A level geographers all about the future of disaster response, focusing on Ebola and its management for their Human Health at Risk unit.
Martin said after ‘I hope they justify their efforts with great results’.
It was a terrific opportunity for the geographers being able to work with a renown and leading author and adviser in the field that they are currently studying.
