Major Irene Mathison is an officer in The Salvation Army’s Norway, Iceland and Færoes Territory. Currently, she is deployed as a member of the movement’s international emergency services team to Romexpo, a large conferencing and exhibition centre in the Romanian capital, Bucharest.

The Salvation Army was the first non-governmental organization to partner with the city authorities and has taken a major role in assisting the hundreds of refugees that pass through each day. Major Mathison spoke to David Giles about her experiences.
