2008 Sichuan Earthquake

We are greatly saddened by the news that thousands lost their lives and that hundreds of children who were at school at the time are trapped in the debris.

It is the deadliest and strongest earthquake to hit China since the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, which killed approximately 250,000 people.

What we can do is offer our support and our thoughts and our prayers.
