Country Director Ethiopia, Roselyn Akinyi Walender is leaving us, after a 12-year run with Cordaid. It took her from Sudan to the Netherlands and culminated in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Akinyi (in the middle) with female staff from Jimma field office (August 2022)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her team sat down with her for an interview to spotlight her personal journey and legacy within Cordaid. \u201cIt was in South Sudan that I could have died many times. I remember almost stepping on a landmine, I missed a cluster bomb by a few inches, and I was kidnapped by a warlord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read her fascinating story on the Cordaid Ethiopia website.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
