The Importance of Human Connection

I woke up this morning with an email in my inbox about the recent bombing in Lahore . I received the news from one of the Fellows, Sarah Dimson, who was just 5 minutes from the blast.

I was at the site of the bombing only about a month ago and have many friends who live near that area; it made my stomach drop.

It also reminded me of the critical importance of human connection. Five years ago I may have heard the news of a bomb blast in Lahore but because Pakistan seemed like a distant land I probably would have very quickly moved on with my day.

Today things are different.
