Hamer’s China Service with UNRRA and FAO
Mr. Hamer recounts his work from 1945 to 1947 with UNRRA in Kaifeng China rehabilitating a flooded 1 million acre tract and resettling over a million people. He then served FAO as agriculture extension specialist in Nanking, aiding Chinese government forestry and agriculture, organizing demonstration areas and training technicians. The FAO team, over 25 specialists, advised on food and fiber production while adapting to local realities. Political unrest and Communist advances end recall of specialists. Hamer may pursue further government work with plans to be announced later.
