By Andrea Vogt | international director

Operation Mercy gives thanks and appreciation to Dr. Scott Breslin who has served as Operation Mercy’s International Director for the past 10 years and welcome's the new International Director Andrea Vogt.

Andrea joined operation Mercy in1996 as a volunteer for work in Uzbekistan engaging in work among the blind and disabled. From 1996 – 2005 she led different community disability projects, eventually becoming the Country Director of Operation Mercy in Uzbekistan. After a pollical change in the country forced many NGOs to leave the country, Andrea studied at UCL in London, completing her MSc in International Community Disability Studies in 2007. From 2008 to 2018 she served as Country Director of Operation Mercy Tajikistan. Andrea returned to Germany in April 2018 and after a period of readjustment at home, accepted the role of Associate Director for Operation Mercy International in December 2018. On 21 May 2019, the board of Operation Mercy appointed Andrea Vogt as the next International Director.

“I am excited to step up to this challenge after growing and developing with Operation Mercy over the last 23 years. I believe we have the potential to be an even greater blessing and resource for hurting communities in Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. My goal is to grow our capacity so we can fulfil this potential.” – Andrea Vogt
