“Not another one”..-Rupert, 9
On Tuesday at lunchtime there was another strong, strong earthquake. It felt much bigger than the last big big one. I was inside playing and it went off, like a loud bang. I felt REALLY scared, I hope there’s not another one.
Dear Rupert
It sounds as though you were really brave despite being scared.
Most brave people feel both things at the same time.
When Sir Edmund Hillary reached the top of Everest he would have felt very scared too as well as brave.
One day you will remember how brave you were.
I hope there’s not another earthquake too and I shall be thinking of you in these times to come.
Wishing you all the very best

Hi Rupert. I hope there is not another one too. You are so brave and I feel very proud of you and all the other kids in Christchurch too. Much love from Auckland.
Hi Rupert I really hope your ok. I have been watching the news every day and feel very sad for what you’re having to go through. I hope things will get better soon, stay strong and safe
I hope you and your parents are alright
