Dear Yoko,

Greetings from Lake Atitlan. Today I received your change of address letter, so I realized the long time that has passed since we were in touch. First I want to reiterate my appreciation for your support during the response to the disaster that came to our communities during October 2005. You are one of the most sensitive and thoughtful persons I know in this shrinking world.

In January 2006 I was hired by Oxfam of Great Britain to coordinate all of the humanitarian assistance in Solola, so I had much greater responsibilities and resources to help the needed. It was a very hard and rewarding experience that ended the past 31st of December. Now I am resting a bit and writing the experience, since it changed my life in a rewarding way, and you were part of that experience.

I visited your web page today and see that you are very good at capturing that beautiful world that made us, more than the world we made. So, I like to share with you a flower and part of this blue landscape.

Thank you again for your support in times of disaster.

My best regards,

Juan
