Fitness for EMERGENCY USA: day 6
by Jason Bosch on Feb.06, 2010, under Blog, Fitness for EMERGENCY USA
I’m so incredibly grateful for my great fortune. That I met Chris who agreed to work with me on this challenge. That I have so many wonderful people who care about me. That I don’t have to experience the terrible affects of war and poverty. I have everything and yet for years I have felt deep sadness. It is a profoundly unjust world we live in. Those who cause pain to others, both economically and physically, are often rewarded handsomely for it. We are out of balance and I’ve been out of balance. Fitness for EMERGENCY USA is my small way of trying to restore some of that balance.
Here’s another video from day 4. In it Chris and I talk about the pain I’m going through by pushing my body back into shape vs. the pain that the civilian victims of war have to go through.
Today I did another 30 minutes cardio at Qi Denver. I pushed myself a little harder but still introducing my body back into working out.

Back Home Tomorrow (a new film about EMERGENCY)

Back Home Tomorrow

A cinematically stunning examination of two lives affected by conflict that illustrates how hope prevails in even the most desperate of settings.
In Back Home Tomorrow, directors Fabrizio Lazzaretti and Paolo Santolini share the moving stories of two children affected by war to present the remarkable work of the Italian aid organization Emergency. Yagoub fled with his family from Darfur and now lives in the Mayo Refugee Camp in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. He has to undergo a serious heart operation, but neither his family nor his fellow tribesmen can come up with the money to pay for it. Then there’s Murtaza. He’s recuperating in a hospital in Kabul after losing his left hand to a landmine. The directors expertly interweave these two fascinating and heartfelt stories without commentary to create a film of rich complexities and emotional resonance.
