Dear colleagues,
It is with great personal sadness that I say farewell to you all, not least because I had hoped beyond hope to be allowed back into the country one last time to be able to say my thank you’s and good-bye’s in person. I still hope one day that may be possible and I look forward to that day! In the meantime, I want to thank you all who are still there and/or still connected to NP for all your brave and steadfast efforts to help the people of Sri Lanka in their hour of need.
I know very well that the need is still there in many cases, and that our work is not yet over. I have committed NP to finding new and innovative ways of providing appropriate support to those in Sri Lanka who need it most in the months to come, and while my fervent hope is that the situation will continue to improve such that our support is eventually no longer needed, I am also ready to re-open this project as and when it may become necessary.
For now, we must put to rest this particular chapter in NP’s history with Sri Lanka, even to enable a new chapter to be possible. It has been a great honour for me to have worked with and met so many of you during my time at NP, and I do not want this to be an end to our relationship - it is a new beginning! So please stay in touch, keep me posted on what you are all doing in your personal lives as well as with the state of affairs more generally, and let’s continue working together for a more peaceful and safe Sri Lanka for all Sri Lankans…
Yours,
Tim Wallis,
Executive Director,
Nonviolent Peaceforce
