Sumatra Tsunami Donations

This is a note I'm passing on from Lorca Lueras of Lines surf mag. Thanks for helping if you can.

Dear Friends,

A donation collection has been set up through the Indonesian Surfing Championship (ISC) for two organizations now helping tsunami victims in Sumatra. Below is a forwarded message I received from Matt George, who is in charge of one of these operations. In fact he and Josh Symon are already on a boat probably there now. Their last correspondence to me was that water and water purification were needed urgently.


Matt was on the scene of the 2004 sumatran tsunami with thelastmileoperations.org who also helped with the Pakistan Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina in the US and more. For more info check out lastmileoperations.org

The ISC is accepting donations because several people wanting to donate have mentioned that bank transfers to outside Indonesia cost quite a bit and Paypal is still a bit too foreign for people here. Matt George doesn't have an Indonesian account, so for Indonesian donations ISC has offered to help and will transfer every cent to Matt.

The ISC BCA Bank details are below. Please write "Donation For Mentawai, MATT GEORGE" in the description so ISC can separate the money. If you want to donate to the USA, the details are at the bottom of this message.

The other group we are accepting for is the Red Cross who you can also donate through ISC to. For Red Cross, please write "Donation For Mentawai, RED CROSS" in the memo.

For more info go to thejakartapost.com or thejakartaglobe.com

Please forward this to anybody that can help.

Thank you,

Lorca Lueras
