In 2002, NOW WITH BILL MOYERS followed Dominic MacSorley of the humanitarian aid agency Concern Worldwide and the group entered the battle to feed the starving people of Afghanistan and to make a difference in the rebuilding of a nation. At that time we interviewed MacSorley about what brought him into aid work.
Now, six years on, he's Emergency Director of Concern Worldwide and THE JOURNAL caught up with him on a project in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
