On May 12th, 2008 an earthquake measuring 8.0 struck a remote and highly populated region of Western Sichuan Province, in China.
The human and physical devastation the earthquake caused is unlike anything the world has seen. Hundreds of thousands of people are permanently displaced and must re-build their lives from scratch, after having lost family and friends. Many of the devastated areas are in remote mountain areas that rescuers and rescue equipment were unable to access. Landslides obliterated hundreds of miles of roads, and bridges collapsed, and dams cracked.
Now comes the long and difficult process of rebuilding.

"The journey for the sake of saving our own lives is little by little to cease to live in any sense that really matters, even to ourselves, because it is only by journeying for the world's sake - even when the world bores and sickens and scares you half to death - that little by little we start to come alive."
