We are here in Samoa. We have been fortunate enough to live up on the mountain and have not been injured by the tsunamis. Others have not been so lucky. Many people that we knew personally have died, killed by the sea. Much of the south side of the islands have been hit the worst. We heard that Coconuts beach club, Maninoa, Salani surf camp were all wiped. Some of the villages lost everything- their houses, their plantations, everything. We are going to help to the best of our limited abilities. We can use your help. You can donate to our fund to help the villages by clicking the Donate Button below.
Thank you for caring. September 29, 2009. Bryan, Taialofa, Kevin, Aubry

and they are happy to be sharing it with you, but they also want
