Q & A with TIM REYNOLDS:
Tim has quickly established a reputation as the "go-to" person when something needs to get done. Whether he's somewhere in the field or coordinating efforts stateside, Tim is absolutely essential to the success of a project, and we are fortunate to have his skills and dedication.
What is Your Most Memorable Moment with Assist?
"My first trip to Afghanistan, right after the major conflict was 'declared' over by President Bush, was one of my most 'on-the-edge' experiences I've had since joining AI. It was intense."
You have 30 seconds to tell someone about Assist International....
"AI is awesome because it addresses some of the major needs around the world by providing improvements to health care for women and children and building new homes for abandoned children. It provides hope where there is no hope and helps people do for themselves, what they could not dream of doing before AI came alongside."
What AI 'Issue' is Most Profound to You & Why?
"Orphan and widow assistance is the big thrill for me. To see all those little faces smiling and secure in good families with a real shot at a better future. It doesn't get any better than that."
Is there a country or region you have a particular affinity for?
"Although I spend a lot of time in Africa and really like it, I would have to say Latin America. I've always had a heart for Spanish-speaking cultures."
