This is all I know.
I get a call from the yard of our little house out in the Pacific.
There's been an earthquake, and aftershocks.
The house is shaking, the shelves are rattling. Electricity is out.
No phone service, except on the cellphone, to some numbers,
not others.
I scour internet news. And local Hawaiian tv and news sources on the internet
from my computer in Albuquerque.
Nothing.
All we know is that there was a 6 point something on the Richter scale near the Big Island.

What I do find on CNN is "Christine Amanpour Reports":

12,000,000 AIDS orphans in Africa and counting.

A child who is interviewed who has lost both of her parents to AIDS says they need help, and medicine.

Do what you can.

These are our relatives.
