Medical services are in great need for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at camps in the north. If you’re interested in helping and have the time to travel to Sri Lanka, get in touch and we can discuss it further.

Alarming video report about the situation in camps for Internally Displaced Persons from Sri Lanka’s formerly occupied Tamil Tiger territory.

I couldn’t be more excited about last night’s election results and the electricity in the air today. America already seems like a new place though the official handoff won’t happen til after the new year.

Is M.I.A. really, in your opinion, endorsing typical LTTE violence or is she telling a different kind of story thru her music? Both?

I read this story and, while I’m sure this happens more than anyone knows, I found it shocking. What are these people going to do?

In my last post I mentioned how disgusted I was about how journalist in particular are being singled out by controlling entities–be they terrorist or other groups related, at least indirectly, to members of the government.

I can’t say I’ve been as horrified as I am to know how journalists in Sri Lanka are being treated.
