As you might have read, we had floods and landslides, both of which caused deaths, displacement and despair. In the wake of this, and the more recent events in South Asia, colleagues here have consoled one another with one message, that of hope, but a hope that is accompanied with pro-action in whatever capacities, modest or more than, that each one of us possesses.
