Sirajganj, Bangladesh
SIRAJGANJ, BANGLADESH – AUGUST 11, 2004
Just two weeks ago this had been Sharikon’s, 10, home, today it is just sand. The water came in the night fast and merciless. Her family and four neighbors lost everything but their lives. Sharikon is mute but her neighbor Abul Dewan and LPS Secratary for the village of Chawhara had helped the family flee to the safety of the CARE built flood shelter. “The children were terrified. Everyone feared they’d be swept away in the rushing torrent,” he explained. “Four houses once stood on this homestead and it was only 25 meters from the flood shelter, but today it is nothing.” (more…)

Iridimi, Chad
Walking for kilometers to collect firewood in the barren landscape outside of Iridimi refugee camp, a young girl helps with the family chours. A chance of education and play are non-existent for the young who have to participte in the daily struggle to survive in the harsh conditions.
Over 13,000 Sudanese refugees are now calling the Iridimi Transit Camp home in Eastern Chad. CARE and its partners are working to bring relief to over 100,000 refugees fleeing the brutal militias rampaging Western Sudan.
“A lot has changed here in just five weeks,” CARE’s Camp Manager Michel Turcotte explains. “We have doubled the camp size and have distributed complete rations for one month which means 2,100 kilo calories per person per day.”
Plastic tarping, jerry cans, foodstuffs, cooking oil, sanitation and water are all being provided despite the remoteness of the vast arid desert Chadian desert.

Every Mother Counts
When supermodel/mom, Christy Turlington experienced child birth complications, she learned that 500,000 women die each year during child birth and that 90% of these deaths are preventable.
This was a catalytic moment. A few years later, she enrolled in a Masters Program at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and began working on “No Woman, No Cry”, a documentary about maternal mortality world wide.
A year after the movie’s world premiere at Tribeca Film festival, Turlington and her crew are back in Bangladesh to meet the women they filmed an interviewed two and a half years ago.
Read more about Turlington’s trip to Bangladesh and enjoy the pictures taken by our chief photographer, Josh Estey:

Documenting HIV/AIDS problem in Papua
Our flight to Papua is going to leave in a few hours.
This will be our first trip to Papua for 2010, hopefully it won’t be the last one.
Papua’s HIV and AIDS prevalence rate is ten times higher than the national rate and sadly, this number is mostly made up of young people. In the past five years, Unicef has been training a group of peer educators to help improve the level of awareness about HIV and AIDS among young people and the general population.
We are so excited to have the opportunity to meet these young people and be inspired by their determination and dedication!
More to come from the land of plenty!

Frisian Flag Waste Water Treatment
South Jakarta suburb, a classic Indonesian house, two children licking a can of sweet condensed milk under an oversized teak dining table…Yep, that was me, my brother, and one of our ‘sweetest’ childhood memory. (Ah! I said it! I used the pun! sorry…it was too hard to avoid)
I would never have thought that twenty somewhat years later, we would actually have the opportunity to work with the people who ‘produce’ this very can of condensed milk.
