"A couple of days ago I was watching TV with my mates. Now I'm running a refugee camp!" splutters Mark, an engineer in his normal life. The volunteers of CARE are quickly initiated by the camp supervisor "Anything I tell you may change tomorrow...all I ask is that everyone learn to be flexible."

I have been in tears watching this doco. I have always had an inner voice that I have dampened down over the years about doing humanitarian involving different cultures than my own. I have only recently had clarity about what my values & passions are. I have just gone along with the 'expected' goals of (suburban) life and have been left felling rather 'empty' in my soul. I have actually today inquired about doing a degree in International Aid & Development. Thanks for this video.

years ago some easter country named one of their small islands scotland n made whiskey there naturally it WAS scotch whiskey, if that holds in a court of law so does the name macedonia, macedonia like poloponese ipyros n other counties of Greece is part of greece irrispective what others may say

sorry mate but you dont see any other country with such crazy claims. Just because they say it it doesnt mean it should be this way. We can name our country California, and out of nowhere make territorial claims on the actual California and claim that significant people born there were not Americans but "Californians". If you look at the FYROM's claims they are exactly the same. THey even go as far as assume Alexander the Great was them! AND THEY ARE SLAVS! A MIXTURE OF ALBANIANS AND BULGARIANS

how do macedonia's refer to it though? I doubt they say "I'm from Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia" or even FYROM.
