Doing whatever it takes......

| MSFers doing what is needed to help the people of South Sudan |
Governments, NGO's, and in fact most of the world's population are holding their collective breath hoping that the current peace agreement will hold in South Sudan. Unfortunately it is unlikely given the near intractable positions and heavy dependance on military dominance rather than negotiation to bridge this deep civil divide. Pictured above is part of the MSF team working in South Sudan to reach the people needing basic heath care. These civilians are fleeing to the swamps to avoid the fighting in the villages. Without access to healthcare, MSF is going to them. I'm proud to be associated with these team members who are prepared to do whatever that takes.
And speaking of whatever that takes, in this same area, two MSF team members were recently killed caught up in the violence ostensibly directed toward combatants but seemingly indiscriminate in light of these events. To both these MSFers and the grieving families, my sorrow and gratitude are limitless. I am also proud to be associated with these two team members who so unselfishly gave themselves to the service of others in need.
