Uddaak
Reema Rao (U of M, Ross School of Business)
Uddaak, in my language, means water. The many faces of our time have been largely influenced by the presence or lack of water. Hurricane Katrina. The East African drought. However, water is also representative of the rejuvenation of life and means to survival. The faces of our time need not be in desperation. It can simply be a vision of joy, like these children share, and a celebration for living today. Uddaak.

We’re staying warm and doing well in here. We’ve got a great view of the Esperanza and the Arctic Sunrise (2 greenpeace ships). We are really lucky to have such an amazing support team!
