So many lovely young international students on this list that is difficult to say to their families and friends how sorry I am for your loss.
I visit many many International Colleges and the faces of the kids at ALL these colleges are always so happy and so joyful- so thankful to be where they are.
I hope that they are all in a better place and to their loved ones left behind I send you so much love and hugs.

the lives of these young ones had been snuffed out , we are very sad about this. my heart goes to all the families of these ones, particularly Jesse Lloyd Redoble's.

We only had Emi Murakami as our homestay student for 3 days, but in that time, we took her siteseeing, and had a lovely bbq to welcome her to our home. She was nervous, but gaining confidence and we knew we had to take special care of her. To lose her in this tragedy has truly been traumatic for us and her family - whom we have met and also taken care of the best way we knew how in the circumstances. We won't forget our wee Emi. xx

I've ever been an exchange student in NZ for 1 year, and I love it. People are nice and friendly. It's sad to see the photos of Christchurch after the earthquake.
I'm so sorry for everyone no matter what nationality who lost their beloved one. RIP to all of them.

Unbelievable that so many souls could be lost in what is surely New Zealands sadest and most traumatic event since the last world war.

Our sincerest condolences to all concerned.

Hsing-Hung,

I met you in Tasmania, 2009, strawberry picking :) you are such a beautiful human being, with a joyful soul and sparkling light. I pray for you, for your family, so that your light remains the brightest possible. I also pray for all your student friends and their family.

Erica, I will sing "Strawbery fields forever" for you.

JD (Chiang Mai, Thailand) says...

To the families of the lost students and staff : My heart goes out to each and everyone of you. I knew two of the lost very well and I miss them more than I will ever be able to express. We in Chiang Mai are still working hard to get more news for the families of the Thai nurses and to help them access any help that might be available.

Sebastian (Tauranga, New Zealand) says...

My heart and prayers are with the friends and families of these unfortunate victims of the quake, they all made sacrifices to study in a foreign land to try and improve themselves but ended up paying a far greater sacrifice than anyone could imagine.

My special thoughts to the family of Ivy Jane Cabunilas, whom i personally knew and who has left behind youjg children who will now need to survive without their wonderful mother.
