Just over 7 months ago I woke up with BBC radio 4 stating how "this" was a sad event for an already struggling country. 3 children and duties kicked in before I could work out both the "this" and the "who" from the report.
As I got into work the news started cascading down. The scale of devastation immense. The response was shock. I wasn't alone in this feeling.
We had been deep in preparation for a launch of the business and UN partnerships website a project that has been 5 years in the making and also for the Davos Refugee Run.
Within a few days we had the first few phonecalls and then they flooded in. The question fairly similar "do they need... And if so how do I partner?"
This went on and on.
We were humbled by the public response. The information we provided sought to direct such an enquiry to a partnership.
7 months on I'm at gatwick airport about to board a delayed plane to the Dominican republic to cross over into Haiti to find out about those partnerships.
