We are deeply shocked to hear this terrible news. Chirs played an essential role as a CARES board member and has been a vivid supporter of our programme here in Singapore. We benefited so much from him as a colleague but also have very good personal memories of his visits to Singapore. One particularly happy day for us with him was exploring Singapore's wildlife in one of the many nature reserves. It was a real pleasure to see his enthusiam for all the tropical creatures. We shall keep this in our memory and we are glad that we could share this wonderful day with him. We send our deepest condolences to Chris' family and friends. Markus Kraft, Joy Haughton and all the CARES members
