Here is a wonderful piece on Paul as a builder/architect: https://commonedge.org/paul-farmer-our-greatest-architect/.

The documentary film “Bending the Arc” on Paul’s work in Haiti and beyond is currently on Netflix in the US (possibly elsewhere as well, given the occasion)

good morning every bod

sorry I was doing a surgery for cervical cancer

it was difficult

No problem Christophe.

Welcome Christophe! Hope the surgery went well

welcome… sorry it was difficult…

Thank you so much for creating this space of reflection and memory about Paul. I have enjoyed and learned so much in the sharing, not only about Paul but about community-building and collective activism.

Wonderful set of stories, & tributes. Treasures, all.

Thank you all. I apologize that I need to sign off to pick up my daughter from school. This was really wonderful, and I look forward to watching it all again on the recording.

I feel Paul's presence in the ongoing work so strongly, I feel he is here in SO much more than memory, and lives on!

All of this is so moving. Thank you one and all for these. I am so very sorry I need to sign out because of another meeting. Thank you for such a moving and inclusive gathering.

Thank you so much in including me in this very moving and therapeutic tribute.

It's been a privilege to hear how Paul's spirit is so strong in the life and work of everyone online here today. Let us continue our commitment to eliminating stupid deaths. Till we meet again.

Thank you for creating this chance to reflect on Paul and his influence on us and all the world. Let’s keep this movement going forward into all of our disciplines. I’m ready to come back to Haiti and visit Rwanda.

Thank you!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much everyone.

Thank you so much. looking forward to seeing you in the future

Christophe — that was a terrific homage to Paul and to the goals of this community

Respect and love for you all

Thank you so much for this incredible privilege in hearing these words! You are all greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much, Christophe

Thank you for this event. My first summer of fieldwork was a summer spent in Haiti and I was struck by the poverty unlike anything I had seen … as well as the indomitable spirit of the Haitian people. Paul has done amazing work in intervening in this context and others. What an example of a human being.

aver solidarité christophe. we honor paul and all the work you do

Thank you all, so very much, for these extraordinary glimpses into Paul’s life and legacy -- including his roadmap(s), as Joia has put it, for all the work ahead. Privileged to join all of you in mourning his loss and celebrating his life.

Thank you all for such insightful reflections

So many beautiful reflections here. Thank you all for sharing. I feel so fortunate to be able to use Paul’s ideas and accomplishments to inspire my own students in Global Health to carry on his legacy and the legacy of this community in their own lives and work into the future.

Thank you Seth!

thank you all so much, love to all

Thank you All! Love to All.

Yes thank you and be well all.

Thanks everyone. I just continue to learn about my inspired mentor

This was very meaningful. Thanks to everyone.

Thank you for this inspiring remembering and sharing, invocation of Paul ’s ethos and values driving a humanism in healing

another piece on paul: https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/remembering-paul-farmer?utm_source=Main+Reader+List&utm_campaign=22a111249b-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_03_16_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_407bf353a2-22a111249b-92604375

An important point to mention is that Paul was scientist

it is important to continue with Paul legacy by continue developing social medicine by using science

Agree, Christophe

Gratitude to Mary-Jo and Byron for teaching and training Paul, and then all of us younger generations. He used to tell stories about his grad student days with you he believed in our non-blood kinship with our radically generous and caring mentors. It’s frightening to lose him because many of us feel we need to step up to the plate and take on more, earlier than we thought we could or would. But that is the reciprocal gift and that is what he wanted. He had infinite love and patience and close readership and medical teaching for so many of us, it’s like losing a parent far too soon. A moral parent, an intellectual parent, a personal parent, an ideological parents.

Well put, Darja

Thank you, Sadeq, Byron, Mary-Jo, Michael, everyone

Thank you all! See you soon.

Thanks you Erica

Thank you…………..I miss you…..
