4 February 2016. Leer: A nurse measures a baby with malnutrition in a clinic run by MSF in Leer, South Sudan.
Fighting between Army forces and Sudan People's Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) took place following a brief takeover by rebel forces on October 2, 2015. Government forces pushed the rebels out later that day. The clashes were followed with intensive looting by armed men who entered the all humanitarian compounds and stole equipment, medical supplies and money. The humanitarian personnel were evacuated and didn't regained access until December, but it's not fully operational yet.

About me:
I enjoy including many types of materials in my work, but seem to favor glass. Abstract art is most pleasing for me to create, though at times my mosaics are representational. My art often reflects the coastal environment in which I live, or it evolves from my poetry. I find it challenging and cathartic to combine these two creative aspects of my brain.

Kalaw is famous for its scenery. Unfortunately it was raining like monsoon for days and we could not go hiking. This picture is from the morning we left, when the rain paused for a moment.
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...

In the week since the earthquake struck Haiti, so many lives have been lost. The devastation and destruction is overwhelming. But new babies have been born in the past days, and children need water, food, and care. We can help now with the beginnings of Haiti's recovery.

Is not this rather the fast that I have chosen? loose the bands of wickedness, undo the bundles that oppress, let them that are broken go free, and break asunder every burden.
Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the needy and the harbourless into thy house: when thou shalt see one naked, cover him, and despise not thy own flesh.
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall speedily arise, and thy justice shall go before thy face, and the glory of the Lord shall gather thee up.
Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall hear: thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am.

I found this well in Kinpun, at the bottom of Mt. Kyaikto. It is amazing to see how water is pumped out of this well, with the tubes disappearing into the ground next to the well. The rope is for the conventional way of getting the water :)

Please donate to the Haitian relief effort. We have so much and they have nothing (Except talent!). You can find lists of relief organizations online. I think Doctors Without Borders is a good organization and they have been working in haiti for a long time, so they know what they are doing.
