Hello everyone
Our office has had some severe damage due to the earthquake. We are currently closed.

I have tried to extract as much as I could from our office in a very unstable building but our computers are damaged.

Once I have a system set up and running and a temporary office I'll do a post here. No emails are working at this time.

For any emergencies call 006787799881.

I have limited WiFi as had to drive to a hotel to get connected.

Prayers to all who are currently suffering.
