While the devastation of the Turkey/Syria quake that killed over 50,000 people in February is slowly fading from international news media, the ongoing plight of the millions of homeless and displaced quake victims is still a very present reality for our team.

On the eve of a major winter snowstorm out here, everyone in our mountain area was jolted out of bed around 320am this Monday by prolonged shaking from the earthquake centered in southern Turkey.
