CYCLONE EVAN 14th December 2012

Evan has now left Samoa, but the devastation remains.

5 lives were lost during the storm of which 3 were children.

11 people are still missing, 9 of which at sea!

our hearts go out to all those who have suffered from this catastrophy.

power and water services are being slowly restored as linesmen work hard to repair the massive amounts of damage to lines and poles.
