“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today.  We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.  In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late.  Procrastination is still the thief of time.  Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity. 

This may well be mankind’s last chance to choose between chaos or community.

World Humanitarian Day August 19, 2022

 

Today is World Humanitarian Day – a day to remember that at the heart of being a humanitarian is humanity. To celebrate the service of humanitarians around the globe, we invited a few DisasterReady learners to recognize a colleague or friend who lost their life walking alongside communities during humanitarian emergencies or conflict. 

We have put these images together into a new video to honor humanitarians around the world who risk their own lives to help others at their most desperate and vulnerable moments.

 

 

 

 

At DisasterReady, we are proud to support over 500,000 humanitarians, many of whom risk their own lives in the most dangerous locations and conflict areas in the world. We are so grateful to all of you and appreciate the sacrifices you make to provide life-saving support and protection to people most in need. We wish you continued health and safety.
