Davos 2013: five

This is our fifth Davos.

We came here with one goal: to create, to forge, to stir a deep understanding amongst the community of the World Economic Forum of global issues. The last four years it has been of displacement, upheaval, migration and forced removal. This year it's about depravation, not having enough and poverty. These issues are close to our hearts.

The solution we seek is not a given nor a prescription. It is a dialogue of will. The will to engage with such issues and the will to transform on these matters.

Success is the stirring of hearts and minds to act. The answer in my brief spell in the humanitarian world (15 years now) is never singular nor one size.

I'm open to listen and learn this year more so than before.

This year I long to see this stirring and do my utmost to help shape that for the least of these.

Can't believe its been five years. It may even be our last too.

What a privilege.
