It's sad to read or see the latest news on the earthquake/tsunami crisis in East Asia, India and Africa. Contributing to one of the help agencies is one way to respond and I can only hope that our corporations continue to deliver needed supplies and money on a large scale. Closer to home, I'm reminded by a friend's blog that there are things we have to do for our own emergency preparedness. With the new year about to begin, a resolution I'm going to make is to get that seventy-two hour kit ready in my home.
My personal commitment to changing the world, making it a friendlier, safer, healthier place to live.
About me
I strive to see the forests and the trees. I graduated from Harvard College, class of 1978, in Economics. With over twenty years of experience in software development, I have worked on a variety of software systems. I seek ways to have a positive impact on people around the world, especially those affected by wars and poverty. Cambodia is my current international focus. I would like to live in a more sustainable way and one contribution I've made is to eat as much local and organically-grown food.
