While it has been ages (a few years) since we posted on here, we still hold our ANZAC (Kiwi) mates in our hearts, and hold you in high regard.  

Karon and I wish you all well, that you are safe and well.  You are all in our prayers at this time as evening settles on your nation.  You were champs in the trenches, and so you will be here too.

Love you all

Hard to comprehend Lil.   Looking at the images it is just like a war zone.   Pets were just getting reunited with owners from the last few quakes. I see that the students are volunterring again to help out.
