Let this ending be a beginning
Our hitch hiking event has ended. At half past 7 PM I got an sms from A saying that she and a few of the hitchhikers were on their way back to the Netherlands. She also wrote that, again, the Dutch national radio program Llink would have her on the air tonight. I haven't heard her, but as soon as I will have a link to the radio program I sure will put it on-line.
Well. So this was it then. Frozen toes, curious journalists, empty telephone batteries and a busy schedule kept us all busy these 10 days. I'd stayed home. Trying to inform the public about what was going on with the hitch hikers as good as possible and being able to keep my toes warm.
Our event came to an end. But the activist's flame is still burning. We will not quit fighting for a Belarus where human rights will be respected, before or after the upcoming presidential elections (19th of March).
And, who would have thought, the ending of this event became also a beginning. A beginning of a stronger connection and cooperation with fellow activists and friends.
Yes, our event came to an end, but not this weblog. There are still pictures to be sent in and stories to be told. Also, it is still possible to contact us for more information on this event and/or for more information on Belarus. We will be happy to cooperate.
For now I'd say, keep the candle burning and let hope not fade away!
