it started as a personal dream of getting pledges for good deeds. it continues now as inspiring acts that we hear about to help others in their own hopes ... no matter how big or small the deed ... or the dream.

gender concerns conference

i haven't been requested this, but seeing as it is a relatively "good deed", I'm posting about it.

i served as a rapporteur/ reporter for an international conference "Country in Focus: Pakistan one year after the earthquake. It was held by a local Dutch NGO, Gender Concerns International.

One year after the earthquake and there are still about 1million people living in tents in resettlement areas. The conference was basically a commemoration of the calamity (as well as the aid that came in from Netherlands), and a call for continuing support of the relief and rehabilitation efforts that are still ongoing.

Am quite tickled to see that my report was uploaded already www.genderconcerns.nl
i think i've found my potential racket-sphere. After all, the Hague is the center of so many conferences. Here's hoping.
