lest we forget

it was the end of the day. preparations for rush hour are underway. final emails being sent. thoughts straying towards supper, putting children to bed, television.

these were my thoughts 12 moths ago at the close of tuesday 12th january. it was a busy time. we were in the midst of launching a new website. a website that stood 5 years in the making. i had just paid the rent and spent time with a new volunteer about an exciting new programmme of delivering poverty based simulations.

these were my thoughts on the close of tuesday 12th january. for the people of haiti their country was to change, again, forever.

when i walked through mostar, a city ravaged by war there was a sign by the bridge which was being reconstructed saying "do not forget". the bridge was an icon of the town. what it stood for. took an incredible feat of construction to build and stand in the heart of that town. it crumbled within seconds with a missile.

today i choose to remember haiti. (more reflections from my visit can be viewed here)
