I can only watch in horror at the magnitude of the situation in Sumatra..every day appears to unfold a new terror and I find it very hard to watch without feeling an imense sadness at what they are going through..I certainly hold my daughters and husband just that little tighter when I hug them as its apparent to all of us just how fragile life is...

We are yet to hear from my brother, Andy Holland, who is out in Pandang for Shelterbox, but reading your reports reassure us that he is ok and out there doing a great job, shining a little light into the lives of those less fortunate x
