As an Expert
Now,/with her experience and expertise,/Seya is convinced/that just having knowledge and skills is not enough/to find a solution. You don’t go to areas/devastated by war and conflicts/with a ready-made solution. Seya believes/that in order to find a solution,/you need to meet people and listen to them.
Seya is also convinced/that giving too much assistance/can deprive people of the willpower/to stand on their own two feet. She says,/“All I can do/is to create an option and assist them a little bit. It is up to the people on the ground/to manage their own lives and society.”
There is much to be done. There are not enough people. There is not enough money. There are successes,/but success is limited.
Seya says,/“I feel/that even if we manage to create something positive,/there are some situations/where we cannot solve everything.” Asked when her work will be over,/Seya says,/“Our work will be over/when people tell us/they don’t need us anymore.”
In dealing with the plight of people/with different cultural backgrounds,/Seya often finds herself in difficulty. But she has no regrets/about choosing a career as a DDR specialist. When things get difficult,/she tells herself,/“Never try to find excuses/for not doing something. Perhaps you may not be able to find a perfect solution to the problem,/but you can start thinking what you can do/to solve 10 percent of the problem. At least/that’s a step in the right direction.”
Seya remains undaunted. Her colleagues say/that she does not allow herself/to be overwhelmed by emotion/even in the face of terrible situations. She believes/that it is not enough for us/to sympathize with people in trouble. Her current ambition/is to work closely with people on the ground/to prevent the tragic consequences of conflict.
