The Fatma Ozcan – Swallow Project

  • From a school in Turkey...

    The Fatma Ozcan – Swallow Project

    Wellcome to the Fatma Ozcan – Swallow Project website. You can find the details of the project in the following pages.

    Our aims are:

    1. To help the swallows and to controll the insect population in our school campus.
    2. To train our community and to increase the public awareness about bird flu.
    3. To create a platform for the young environmentalists to communicate and to share the knowledge.

  • Thanks for the post, Theresa. Sometimes it is easy to forget that each time WHO updates the H5N1 fatality count, another vibrant life has been lost and there are family members and relatives, friends and neighbors who grieve for each of them. Fatma's family was particularly devastated, not only did they lose her, but also her 5 year old brother, and several other cousins and relatives to H5N1.


  • Someone last year said I could use this in my presentations. I used it in one of my first. Perhaps Theresa will remember who made the graphic. ( I must have his moniker somewhere in my notes or on my earliest powerpoint.) She and others were tracking even then, without fail. Henry was working on sequences.

    These children will not have died in vain. I will always remember them.

    Sometimes I'm blown away at the dedication of the collective group working to understand this diesase from the grass roots.

  • Pulls at my heart strings.

    It's amazing how small the world feels when you live, allbeit at a distance, with these families who have lost their dear children to birdflu.

    Beautiful young woman.

    Swallows are appropriate.


    Ditto.


  • That was Cgresley who created that chart (I always remember him from his little, blue waving elephant avatar! :) ).

    His chart was really a breakthrough for those of us tracking the Turkey outbreak at the time -- it really was so illustrative of what was going on there. I was convinced for about a week that he was an epidemiologist, until he told me that it was just that he knew an epidemiolgist and had picked up that sort of charting from them. What a resourceful bunch, us flubies! :D

    I still don't like to think too much about the kids from Turkey. Shed some tears over them. :(
