The time is now and the move is yours
Posted on December 22, 2009 | 3 CommentsThe tsunami of 2004 was a life changing experience for me. Having barely escaped death, I gathered with survivors in Maldives awaiting rescue. It was there that I saw a most memorable and touching scene: citizens from all over the world, no matter their beliefs or their race, united in the face of disaster. They helped and treated each other just like a family. Their love inspired me, and I thought to myself, “What a wonderful world we would live in if we could share just a little bit of love with each other every single day.” From this vision was born the One Foundation, an organization that believes that, if everyone, every month, gave a little bit of time or donated a small sum, together we could change the world. Today, the One Foundation has grown to include the support of many individuals and organizations, and continues to expand its global family. One Foundation’s rapid growth has been made possible through close partnerships with the world’s leading philanthropic organizations, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has been a most distinguished friend. -

The Red Cross Red Crescent tsunami operation is among the largest logistic manoeuvres in the history of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in terms of territorial coverage, number of staff and volunteers involved, budget, number of programme activities, and the number of National Societies working directly in the affected areas in support of the host National Society, in this case Indonesian Red Cross (PMI).

Les visages du tsunami : jeune fille de Dhuvaafaru
Posted on October 21, 2009 | No Comments
Cette jeune enfant est la fille d'un fabricant de bonbons de Kandholhudhoo dans l’atoll de Raa aux Maldives. Elle et sa famille ont tout perdu lorsque le tsunami a frappé leur ile qui a du être abandonnée. Suite à cela les habitants de Kandholhudhoo ont du être temporairement relogés dans cinq îles voisines, tandis que leur nouvelle communauté dans Dhuvaafaru, une autre île dans l'atoll de Raa, était construite par la Croix-Rouge et le Croissant-Rouge. Maintenant, elle et sa famille vivent dans cette nouvelle communauté de Dhuvaafaru. Ce projet a permis la construction de 600 maisons, un bâtiment de l'administration publique, les établissements scolaires élémentaires et secondaires, des terrains de sports (terrain de football, piste d’athlétisme et de basketball), une mosquée et un port qui couvrent les 40 hectares constructibles de l’île, où les 4200 réfugiés Kandholhudhoo ont retrouver une nouvelle maison et une nouvelle communauté en Décembre 2008.
À près de cinq ans après la catastrophe du tsunami, la Croix-Rouge et le Croissant-Rouge ont aidé des centaines de milliers de survivants à se relever et amener leurs vies sur la voie de la guérison.
