Our Story
A bus driver speeds down the wrong lane of an ill-maintained, narrow road with a sharp curve and no guard rail. The road has long been on a government list of “black spots” in need of repair. The bus hits oncoming traffic and plunges down a deep ravine. Twenty-three people die, including Aron Sobel, a 25-year old medical student, two weeks before his graduation. He was volunteering in Turkey.
Aron died in 1995, but stories like his continue to occur daily, devastating families and communities.
