Even in the middle of a war zone, Bruno Geddo manages to light up the room and make people smile, maybe even laugh. He is somebody who deeply appreciates different cultures in the world and sees beauty in the ugliest of times. For 30 years now, he has been helping the victims of conflict in the world’s most dangerous places with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. His most recent posting was to Iraq, from where he spoke about the impact of the violent battle with the Islamic State.
