Todd SheaMusicianTodd Shea, executive director of CDRS, performs at a Health Fair in Pakistan.
Description
Musician Todd Shea is part musician, part comedian, part social worker and part humanitarian. Much of the year you'll find him in the most remote regions of Pakistan, helping re-establish healthcare for victims of the 2005 earthquake.
He's an unlikely candidate for a hero: when asked what qualifies him, with little education and no formal training, to do disaster relief, he says perhaps it’s because his own life was once a disaster. He talks with Peggy Wehmeyer.
