How to get out of bed...

Politics, diplomacy, coordination, advocacy, inaction, obstruction, failure…
Yeah, in the humanitarian community, many of us wrestle with cynicism…
In a cholera outbreak, I saw people laying in their own filth at the Cholera treatment centre...there were tarps, there on site, and no one put them up, no one moved to bring shelter to those suffering, hudled against the (tarp) wall of the centre to escape the sun. Brutal, I couldn’t believe it. Cyniscism, yeah, it gets to you, at you, its brutal how it can creep up. There were children there too. Unbelievable.
But seeing children get a hand up and out of desperation, now that’s something that get’s me up in the morning, something worth fighting for…

Each of these children have a name (most I've forgotten) but they helped me pull it together last week...keep a bit of perspective
