Praise the Lord! We are so glad that you finally received help, albeit it can very late. If you can give me the name of the two students we will broadcast over the internet, CNN, etc. I am sending your email to show the desperately sad situation.
Any word from Patrick yet? I just spoke to your son by phone. Amalia is at the hospital with your daughter.
I tried to call your cell but it just rang. It was just a desperate attempt because I thought maybe your Blackberry was dead. Is there anyway to get security for the building or have you given up on that?
You need to think about the logistics of getting the tents to you. How will you get them? I can’t even tell you how they might come become the shipper is still trying to figure out how to get them to you if you still want them. How many students are with you? Does anyone have any photos of the school that we can post? (for donations, etc).
If you can, please tell us about yourself and that of your students, how you are surviving, eating, where you sleep, what you see. Anything that you can send us will help us to make people aware of your need to get the tents, and to raise money to re-build GOC.
We will not abandon you, Fritz. I am glued to this computer and the phones waiting for any shred of information to know that you are okay. Were you able to recognize any of the deceased students or staff? Again, we will broadcast their names for their families if you send us the names.
Hold on to the Lord. I am going to stop to look for Stephenson, Pastor Michelle’s son. I think I have a picture of his daughter, too. We will try to find them through the social networks.
Stay safe and be comforted in the Lord. We will rebuild. God is able to provide all that we need to do it. I emailed Vic that we must get busy to design the earthen houses and get the funding to carry out the construction under GOC.
Judy and Ed. We send our love and prayers. Please stay in touch as much as possible and send any information about your situation so we can get it out to the world, especially to GOC alumni living all other the world.

the help we just received about 2 hours ago are from the Minister of Public Works with a tractor to pull students from the concrete. There is also 2 trucks to take all the garbage. I just received word 15 minutes ago two students came out alive. I had to provide for the Diesel because the Minister had no money to pay for it.
