Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.00,0:02:02.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you talked very movingly about your father.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.14,0:02:06.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it's also, I think, a celebration of the work that humanitarian workers do,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.28,0:02:10.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what we're hoping to do with this campaign that we're launching next week-end,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.60,0:02:18.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's really to get people to understand that every act of kindness, of help and support,
