Published
I particularly wanted to send my most heartfelt thoughts and condolences to all those who have been affected.
My wife and I were deeply saddened to hear of the tragic loss of life and injuries following the earthquake in Cianjur, West Java.
It is particularly upsetting to know how many young lives have been cut short, and our hearts go out to all those families who have lost their loved ones.
I can only begin to imagine how challenging it must be for those responding to this appalling disaster.
Their expertise and commitment to supporting others is truly inspiring and I particularly wanted to send my most heartfelt thoughts and condolences to all those who have been affected.
