Plus Six

Plus six is an idea.

It’s more common sense than insight, and more practical than inovative. It’s recognition that in global scale tragedies, like what we’re seeing in Villahermosa, while the immediate need is huge, there will continue to be a need in six months. Catholic Online leads with a story today that describes what we all know will happen:

Filthy water recedes from the city streets. Lights and telephones flash on. Globe-trotting TV crews fly on to the next story.

Plus six is an idea of a small scale disaster response organization who targets a key social or public health NGO or clinic in the disaster area and seeks a non affected, partner agency to build and grow long term exchange and to aid in the recovery effort. It builds on the legacy of NMNP

 

Thoughts anyone?
