There was a palpable buzz as I left a meeting at the EU offices this morning, and unfortunately, the news was not good. Part of a school collapsed this morning in Petionville. Details are still sketchy at this point. Early reports were saying the entire school had collapsed filled with 700 hundred students. Thankfully, that was not the case. However, the top floor of one whole wing of the school appears to have come down and crushed the floors below it. Latest reports are saying that there are at least a dozen confirmed deaths and more than 50 kids still trapped. The government does not have the kind of search and rescue resources to deal with these kinds of emergencies and there are urgent calls all over the radio for equipment to help free these kids.
It's a sad and scary story that is just beginning.
