Thank you

My people are hurting. Floods have ravaged my lands but amazingly few have died. Over 15% of the continent has been hit, laying waste to the land, destroying infrastructure and causing horror in our lands. But we are thankful.

People have died but without the rescue and relief volunteers hundreds would have been lost. We have the military here protecting and cleaning up and its working. Our mines are underwater but these are the sort of mines which already have pumps. Our houses have been crushed but we have relief structures put in place after the horror of the fires just over 2 years ago. people are hurting but they could be far far worse. The damage will be horriffic to the mental, physical and economic health of the entire nation but it is not the end.

We have been offered assistance and help from our old friends and found ourselves with the blessings and help of new friends around the world. We cannot thank everyone enough for all the offers and attempts to assist. It will be a long time before we finally fix this nation but we have found ourselves blessed by the friends we have around the world.
