Lisa F. commented on Jennifer Lentfer's blog post Interview questions you should be asking of aid organizations"Thinking of the people in the past who really excelled in this position, can you tell me what it was about their performance that was so outstanding?

The answer to this question…"

Lisa F. replied to John Frum's discussion Basic logistics in the group Humanitarian Logistics"I'm also wondering if anyone can suggest any education programs on logistics? Is there a "Bachelor of Logistics" program I'm just not finding?"
Lisa F. replied to Sarah Davitt's discussion What is your favourite "Aid Expose" book/thing? in the group Collective Wisdom"RE: Shake Hands with the Devil - If you read French, do try to read that version.
