Hey liamh

great set! I think you should consider getting one of those tough books. I hear you can drop them from 20 ft and they are fine

Thanks Rian. Not a bad idea, I get a laptop every 18 months or so, mind you, breaking them always gives me the excuse to buy a new one

Liam,

Thanks so much for posting these, as well as your previous series. I've been meaning to drop you a line, but have a terrrribly slow connection over here, and it takes forever to load the photos.

Thank you also for showing us that even in post-disaster, post-conflict settings people still have a capacity to smile and remain defiant in the face of adversity. There is too much negativity in this world today, and your photos are a fine protest against this tendency.

I also have to point out that I am terribly jealous of your journeys. Are you hiring by any chance?

Cheers, Spyros

Thanks Spyros.

One thing that struck me in each of the disaster regions we visited was how resilient the survivors were, at least the ones we met. They just get on with things no matter what is thrown at them, a lesson we could all learn.

Sadly, we're not hiring

Anyhow, you get about yourself, don't you? How are things in DR Congo? Looks pretty desperate on the news.

Liam.
