I spent a day packing boxes of lunches for the student volunteer army in Christchurch. We managed to prepare over 17,000 lunches 🙂 We in fact prepared so many, that they wouldn’t all fit in the truck being used to transport them to Christchurch, and so Ed Waite and myself carted them up in Ed’s Landcruiser.

The authorities were requesting for out of towners to stay away from Christchurch and not to assist with the quake cleanup, so the only destruction we got to see were some wonky road signs and a couple of area of liquifaction such as this before heading out of town.
