Don’t Panic

.
I’ve just arrived in Indonesia to start a 6 month contract building a variety of databases and do some general IT training for an NGO here. At first I’m little apprehensive about being back on the “Aid Circuit”. After 3 months in beautiful New Zealand, the chaos of Jakarta took a little adjusting. But the Indonesian people are so friendly , and I know that I’ll settle into things soon enough.
And then in the first 24 hours I’ve been here there’s been another earthquake in Sumatra, killing around 22 people and a plane crash in Yogyakarta, killing at least 22 people.
I remember, that’s why I’m here – to try and make a difference. I just hope this isn’t the sign of things to come…
