the earth is shaking

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7225896.stm

Please follow the above link for BBC news about the earthquake that hit southwest Rwanda on Sunday. I am very sad to report there were casualties and many injuries (not to mention damages to churches and homes) down in Nyamasheke, the area where I lived in 2006. WR currently is working in child survival in Nyamasheke as well.

World Relief is mobilizing volunteers and helping to organize the relief effort right now; thank you for your prayers. World Relief staff and families are all safe.

Thank you for your emails of concern; we did feel the earthquake here in Kigali but it was nothing serious. I'll keep you posted with any further developments.
