About lives, needs and inspiration

Negelle, 25/07/2011


Humanitarian work is about life: saving lives, improving lives and trying to alleviate the human suffering. Five days ago we leave Addis Ababa for making an assessment mission in the field in Oromiya region. Due to the severe drought in the firsts months of the year pastoralist and agro pastoralist population in the region are running out of livelihood resources.

In the last days we have met some government officials, ngos, Ethiopian Red Cross staff in the region and some communities and households affected. We were trying to understand the whole situation and find out the best way to help this people having their lives back.

At the end of the day, we came up with an early recovery strategy which, if funded, will allow the most affected communities to keep on coping this crisis time in their own way. This intervention is based in the support of most vulnerable people of communities to recover their livelihood and at the same time balancing with some community actions.

In the meantime, while you are trying to improve these lives someone come unexpectedly into yours and something happen. It is not about love, sex, admiration or respect but about inspiration. Inspiration is the most important thing that someone can just offer you where everything else is gone.



Stop on the way back home (where we make it to be)
