Canada

My name is Martin Padgett and I live in Toronto, Canada. In 2003, I became the first foreigner to teach at Aba Teachers College. I also have wonderful memories of my time there. Fortunately, I have received word that the students and teachers at the college are safe. Photos taken by air after the earthquake show the students and teachers camped in the sports field. The buildings are all standing. Thank goodness
