A minimal amount of research on the work of Direct Relief would be sufficient to comprehend why exactly the organization truly does "deliver a world of good". The four star rating by Charity Navigator and 100% efficiency proclaimed by Forbes clearly define the wonderful and successful work of this organization; however, it was not until I worked as an intern there over this summer that I learned the extent to which Direct Relief will go to ensure they are helping the most amount of people possible. The staff and board members are extremely friendly, dedicated and passionate about their work, which is reflected in the organization's efficiency and transparency. The internship was not only an extremely fulfilling work-experience, but it has set a personal standard for how I would like (and expect) all charities to function. Direct Relief is a one-of-a-kind organization, which deserves publicity and support in order to assist it in its exemplary, continuously expanding mission.
