There's not much to say at the moment. We're all just watching and waiting. Our country is calm and safe and, above all, small. We all know someone who knows someone. We've crowded around the TV and radio, waiting to hear more. I've spent the last couple of days working with eleven year olds, and today had to start answering questions about the earthquake. I tried to focus on good things, like the way everyone is pulling together to help, how they're looking out for one another. But I know those kids will go home, turn on the television and see it all. They'll feel that visceral pain we're all feeling at the moment, of seeing your country literally torn apart, ripped at the seams, collapsed in a heap. 

At the moment, they need money. You can donate to the red cross, or click here for more information.

Find Hohepa

Our wonderful friend Bart has a car called Hohepa, and someone in Wellington pinched it. You may recall past blog posts about an amazing trip up north to a friend's house in the bush? Well, its Bart's house, and its his car, and it is full of things which are really important to him. Bart is actively hunting for Hohepa - he's been in the newspaper,all over facebook, and will be on the news tonight. If you see Hohepa, call the Wellington Police on 043812000 immediately!
