What we are trying to do At the initial public meeting held at the St Albans Council offices in February 2005, we already knew about the huge worldwide response, and the enormous emergency relief effort. Indeed the major aid agencies were saying that they had all the funds they needed. We realised that we could make a real difference by: Providing for the longer-term needs of people and communities whose lives had been so dramatically affected. Focussing support on one area within one affected country, where we know that interaction and local support has not adequately met the existing needs. Building links between St Albans and another community that will last for a number of years, and go on providing support long after the world’s press and television cameras had moved on to somewhere else.
