Within nine months I'd have a Beta version of FrontlineSMS out in the world, and the rest is history, I guess.
A useful reminder that you don't need prestige, money or friends in high places to do good in the world. Just a strong desire to do it. 🙏

This year I’m making a different kind of New Year’s resolution. I’m choosing to fight my #apathy.
Not by pretending the world is less overwhelming, but by refusing to look away and by taking small, meaningful actions that actually matter.

Apathy grows when the world feels overwhelming - but choosing to stay awake is an act of courage. Every small step you take pushes back against injustice, sparks hope and reminds us all that change begins when ordinary people refuse to stay quiet.

One of the biggest myths you'll hear over and over is that criticising Israel in any shape or form is antisemitic. Period.
It's not.

Don't underestimate the importance of this move.
Well done to Spain and Italy. Now, who else is in?
It may be too late for 70,000 murdered Palestinians, but international opinion is slowly beginning to turn.
Speaking up does count. Do the right thing. Help #BreakTheSilence.

Right now 'terrorists' are being arrested for doing something that most politicians and businesses are simply too afraid - or not willing - to do.
Protest against the systematic destruction of life, property and any hope of peace in #Gaza.
I know which side of history I want to be on.

This is evil, pure and simple.

This picture was drawn during a UNICEF play activity in #Gaza by a 7-year old boy called Yamen.
He was asked to draw a wish. ✏️
And what did he draw? A sky without fighter planes or drones. 😔
I can't imagine the horrors these children are being put through.
But I do know it needs to stop. 🛑
