I am not the author for anything on this site. There are thousands of authors for all the articles. Call me "The Collector". Although that makes me think of a mafia movie where legs and arms are broken to extort money.

"Collecting" is really my role for "Humanitarian News": I collect information. I select news sources, process them through a whole series of tools to make them presentable in this site.

I have been an aidworker since 1994. I worked all over the world and lived in a dozen different countries. I have seen wars, famine, devastation caused by floods and earthquakes. I know what "human misery" means. I saw -first hand- all the efforts trying to deal with human suffering, its causes and its consequences. That made me fanatic for the human causes. I try to do my bit, try to make a difference in the little time I have in this world, so that one day, I can take my grandchildren on my knee and say with pride: "I did what I could". Not only at work, but also outside, in my spare time.

"Humanitarian News" is one of my personal projects, collecting information and broadcasting them, so people can get informed of the human misery, its causes and what is being done about it. I have a multitude of other projects: blogs, aggregators, discussion forums,... Browse around them, pick what you find interesting and do come back!

Thank you for traveling this road with me.
