On Tuesday 19 September, Mexico was hit by an earthquake of magnitude 7.1. The staff of CMS Mexico were working in our 15th floor office when the earthquake took place. We and our families are doing well but across Mexico City and the wider country, the damage and loss of life has been significant and shocking. Current reports state that at least 305 people were killed.

We at CMS Mexico are appealing for our international colleagues to support Mexico through donations to the Mexican Red Cross (Cruz Roja).

We have been hard at work volunteering our time and energy since the earthquake took place, and we hope that you will join us in supporting the victims of this terrible tragedy.
