"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Human rights, politics, history, archaeology, public health, lolcats.
This is my blog, not a newsfeed. I sometimes joke around and post things that are unrelated to politics/human rights. If this irritates you, don't follow me.
If you're offended by profanity, liberal sensibilities, rampant idealism or flagrant self-indulgence, just save yourself the trouble and run far, far away.

This week marks the 5th anniversary of the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami. Days after the tsunami struck on December 26, 2004, the IRC dispatched emergency teams to Indonesia’s Aceh province. At the time, the IRC’s Peter Biro wrote about a journey to Calang, a village that was virtually erased from the map.
