Lettera del Comitato Europeo Wosm
Dear Barbara
Like many people around Europe, we received the news of the earthquake which happened last night on the morning news. We are sure that those personally affected have spent a dreadful time, particularly those who have suffered the loss of friends and family or have been subject to injury.
In western Europe we tend to forget the immeasurable forces of nature but in circumstances such as these we stand in solidarity with the Italian nation and the Scouting community in particular. If there is anything that the Region can do we hope that you will advise us. We know that Scouting will be involved at many levels and we stand beside you in whatever these endeavours will entail.
In the meantime, Italian Scouting is in the thoughts of the Region, not least from the European Committee and the regional staff.
With sincere condolences and our strong feelings of solidarity.
Craig Turpie Chairman European Scout Committee
