In memory of Chris Buckley

Such sad news: Please see attached announcement by Chris' employer, the University of Kwa Zulu Natal in South Africa.
He will be sorely missed in the WASH sector. I met him a couple of times at conferences (I think the first time in 2005 at the ecosan conference in Durban). His sense of humour, passion for sanitation and interest in supporting early career WASH people were always wonderful to witness!
Regards,
Elisabeth
