Episode 29: Timothy 'Tito' Torres with Moral Compass Federation
Welcome to Episode 29 of The Afghanistan Project Podcast,
where hosts Mikael Cook and Beth Bailey highlight the struggles of Afghans living under Taliban rule, and the efforts of individuals from a variety of backgrounds and political affiliations who have stepped up to provide support to the people of Afghanistan in the chaos that followed the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Our guest, Timothy ‘Tito’ Torres, has served with the U.S. Army Rangers since 2005 and currently works as the executive director and vice president of the Moral Compass Federation. The Moral Compass Federation consists of more than 30 nonprofit groups, each with their own unique missions. Some groups help Afghan allies in need of humanitarian aid, while others support evacuation, or resettlement aid. Still other groups support veterans and Gold and Blue Star families who have borne the nation’s battles. Under the Moral Compass Federation umbrella, each unique group can sign on to advocacy work or special projects that give each organization more of a voice than they might have on their own.
Today’s episode concludes with a story from a young Afghan man whose brother died after he attempted to flee the country by clinging to the body of a military cargo plane departing from Hamid Karzai International Airport.
