From our blog Sometimes Earplugs Aren't Enough
When I was living on the ‘frontline’ of Brixton, South London — the frontline was Cold Harbour Lane, a multicultural mecca for illicit substance dealers, dance clubs, pubs and food markets — thousands of people passed under my balcony window daily: and the noise didn't stop. I lived opposite a nightclub which would begin after midnight and go on till the early wee hours.

Humanitarian aid Stemming the Spread of Cholera in Haiti
When cholera turned up in Haiti’s Central Plateau last October, it was the first time any cases of the disease had been reported on the island since 1960. Few Haitians knew what caused it or how to prevent it. The outbreak quickly reached epidemic proportions. According to the most recent reports, more than 2,600 have died and at least 120,000 more are infected. Although health officials think the number of new cases will likely peak in the next few months, it could be years before cholera is completely eradicated. It's estimated another 600,000 people could be affected before that happens.
