We have had many friends, family and followers enquire about our well being in light of the recent 7.8 earthquake that struck the Northwest coast of Ecuador on April 16.
Your concern for us is very much appreciated. JoAnne and I are both safe and well. Our current home in Cuenca is a 9 or 10 hour drive from the epicentre. Although we felt some tremors, our apartment was not adversely affected.
However, if you have not already done so, please consider a donation to a recognized relief organization currently involved with disaster response in either Japan or Ecuador. Two examples of organizations are below.
Kindest regards,
Brian and Jo-Anne Cosier
Canadian Red Cross – Disaster Relief
