A note from John Weeks:

Just a quick note - the only school that regularly teaches comics in Cambodia, Phare Art School, has been damaged in an explosion. Mercifully, no one from the school was hurt, but they and the surrounding village need help. About 250 villagers are without homes, and they need to repair the roofs of the school buildings.

Please pass the word on, we're doing our best on the ground.
