Good News

Blogging for the Scientology Volunteer Ministers in South-East Asia

I've been blogging, on and off, in this blog for the past two years or so.

But I suddenly have a real reason to blog and share my news.

I have friends in Thailand, Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka who are working to help the people most severely affected by the tsunamis of December 26, 2004. They don't always have access to the Internet (or to food, water, a place to sleep...) but they have been sending stories and photos to their friends whenever they have been able to do so, and so I'm opening my blog to them, and/or will post on their behalf when they are unable to do so.

I don't know how long they will be needed there, but as long as they are there, this blog is theirs.

Come back often. I'll have new news about them -- probably every day.

There isn't much GOOD news to come out of a disaster that will probably end up having killed over half a million men, women and children, but the stories of heroism, hope, friendship and survival that come out of it are the best possible news, and confirm, once more, my firm belief in the goodness of my fellow man and woman.

Here's to all of the heros who are out there, helping people get their lives back together again!
