Jul 21, 2009

ASIA - HISG staff is currently in Southeast Asia meeting with organizations to discuss some of the challenges specific to that part of the world. It has been called a 'supermarket of disasters,' and in the last five years HISG has responded to natural disasters such as a tsunami, a cyclone, earthquakes, and flooding in the region. There is also political turmoil in the area that hinders economic development. But challenges in the area have opened up tremendous possibilities and forged strong partnerships that are transforming communities. This opportunity to revisit what is working and discuss what lies ahead will help HISG continue to connect resources to needs for the people of Southeast Asia.
