Trapped!
Two men are currently trapped in a mine in Tasmania. Reading about these guys as I sit behind my computer in Dhaka has reminded me of the 55 million Bangladeshi’s who are trapped here, not by rocks but by poverty. These people are trapped everyday for the rest of their very short lives. These two men will hopefully be free by Sunday but for all the people who live on less than $1 day here life will never get better. They will always live one day at a time, working for a minimal wage in extremely dangerous conditions, to feed themselves and their families.

I have been surprised at my concern and need for regular updates about these two miners. Maybe because I know in our part of the world, with our technology these two can and will be saved, unlike the many people I see here everyday.
