She describes the current situation like, “a never-ending camping trip from hell with no supplies and the monsoons are coming”. Despite the efforts from the World Food Programme (WFP) and numerous other organizations, the Rohingya refugee crisis in Cox’s Bazar is far from over.
Alexandra Parisien, WFP’s information management officer with the logistics sector, who is currently in Cox’s Bazar gave us all the details on the current situation, what is being done and what needs to be done. Read the interview below to learn what you can do to help.
CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ALEXANDRA PARISIEN IN COX’S BAZAR?
As the information management officer with the logistics sector I am the main point of contact for logistics sector participants (UN Agencies, International and National NGOs), national counterparts and partners. This means that I am responsible for the collection, compilation, reporting and dissemination of information regarding the logistics situation in the crisis-affected area, including comprehensive data on logistics procedures and bottlenecks from the various logistics cluster participants and national authorities. Day to day life at the logistics sector varies greatly, which is one of the best aspects of my job. I may be in the office working on information products to share with the logistics community or in the field collecting data, monitoring logistics services or meeting with stakeholders and other agencies to work on coordination of response activities.
CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US A BIT ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AND CURRENT SITUATION IN COX BAZAR, BANGLADESH?

UNTTLD (Simon Belanger)
Luxurious, domineering, and vibrant – three words that solidly define UNTTLD’s incredible showcase of their F/W 2018 collection at Toronto Fashion Week. Adorned with black headdresses (or hats), the models that graced Yorkville Village’s runway flaunted boldcoloured velvet dresses and boss-lady outfits. Since 2011, designer duo Simon Belanger and Jose Manuel Jacques have been creating lux pieces that reflect on masculine feminity to emphasize the capabilities and desires of the modern woman. We had the opportunity to speak to Simon shortly after the show about their one-of-a-kind collection that is truly one to reminisce.
Dr. Sapna Sriram
When she’s not taking care of or teaching her own kids, she’s making sure Canadians know how to take care of themselves especially when it comes to injuries and injury prevention. Dr. Sapna Sriram is a leading Canadian chiropractic physician and award-winning co-founder and CEO of Integra Health Centre. She is an injury expert and recognized for her innovative approaches to performance optimization and injury rehabilitation. We got a chance to ask her all about how and why she founded her facility.
