 In the aftermath of the devastating collapse of a garment factory on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh, here is the photograher’s quote in this article, “Every time I look back to this photo, I feel uncomfortable — it haunts me.

“One of the biggest challenges for post-austerity Greece will be the rebuilding of a strong civil society. Future foundations are already being laid out through new and exciting citizen initiatives, but much is yet to be done. 

A light breeze of transformation seems to have started blowing silently in Greece. The younger generation has inspired a wave of voluntary initiatives and actions targeted at resolving collective problems in the last couple of years. The recent manifestations are numerous and exciting: voluntary-based events that encourage structured debate and spreading new ideas.”
