Our lives are getting back on track but it is going to take years to rebuild everything. The infrastructure is quite bad and a lot of beautiful old buildings are destroyed. One street furthere from here a school is so badly damaged that they can't use it anymore They will have to build a new one and the children will have to stay for a while in another place. But again we are lucky nobody was hurtMarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458942200244031009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-79795333555511981852010-09-13T20:47:11.875+12:002010-09-13T20:47:11.875+12:00Hi Marja, how are things now?

In fact, I was with friends at a friends' beach house just the previous night and we left in the morning. It was a shock to us that the tsunami hit the same day from afternoon. It was truly miraculous. If you see our town now, you will not know that it was the place of massive destruction a few years back. I believe NZ will also recover quickly. I do hope so.anwinjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812352060909356805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-79312923192899271432010-09-12T07:49:19.615+12:002010-09-12T07:49:19.615+12:00oh yes, all those times i was gone, been thinking ...oh yes, all those times i was gone, been thinking how are my co-bloggers? how's marja? this post explains well why no matter how long i've been away, i find my way back. <br /><br />hugs marja! :)Irizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180948948437349723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-47846648783283142452010-09-11T04:46:54.182+12:002010-09-11T04:46:54.182+12:00I wish that it didn't take a disaster to bring...I wish that it didn't take a disaster to bring out our best!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-6221483030094730162010-09-10T18:40:43.674+12:002010-09-10T18:40:43.674+12:00I think the way your community came together to he...I think the way your community came together to help one another including pooling food and water is an encouragement to us all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-58460330386060340642010-09-10T12:07:13.042+12:002010-09-10T12:07:13.042+12:00I agree entirely!!

As individuals, we are capable of terrible acts of violence against each other but I believe that as a species, our first imperative is to do good for others and with others. It has not taken long for New Zealand to prove my belief. God bless you all.

Ik ben blij voor de bewoners van Christchurch en in het bijzonder voor jullie dat het allemaal zo goed is afgelopen.<br />Nu nog even een opmerking over het schilderij van Mayke. Dit is werkelijk heel bijzonder!! De kleuren en de compostie van de vlakken maken veel indruk op mij. Ik hoop dat zij hiermee doorgaat want ze heeft een groot talent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06253241492499858483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-33653689074076380562010-09-09T23:57:33.906+12:002010-09-09T23:57:33.906+12:00No matter where you are, human kindness always pre...No matter where you are, human kindness always prevails when there is need.
