Dear colleagues,
While preparing to send a message for New Year, the tragic news of
the earthquake off the coast of Sumatra and devastating tsunami
affecting the entire region was received.
On behalf of the IGS, many thoughts and prayers to all of our
colleagues and their families and loved ones in these affected
regions. Such a natural disaster touches each of us, and the scale
and extent of this is just unbelievable. Many of us within the IGS
have worked in these countries and know people there - Sumatra,
Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Kenya, Somalia, and
the islands of Seychelles, Maruitius, Reunion.
While wishing each of you all the best in the coming New Year, keep
these people in your hearts and minds - many lives are changed
forever and it will take a globally concerted effort over a long time
to restore any semblance of normalcy.
It is with a heavy heart that I extend wishes for speedy recovery
from this disaster and hopes for peace and prosperity in the New
Year.
sincere regards - Ruth Neilan
