The 7.6 richter scale earthquake in Padang, West Sumatra or known in Indonesian as Gempa Sumatra has consumed a lot of attention from every nook and corner of lives.

We see everyday, every hour, even every minutes through electronic media (TV) the massive after-effects of the quake. The condition of victims, the deads and the seriously injured, the homeless are simply horrible. Those whose house was destroyed not only homeless. They are penniless and clothesless as well.

A natural disaster of such magnitude cannot be handled by our government alone. Each one of us should do our bit to help our brothers and sisters in the affected area. If you have a bank account, there is an easy way to help them as a way to show to ourselves that we are a man with soul. Send as low as IDR 10,000 (ten thousands = USD 1) to one of the following bank account belong to one of television networks. Of course, sending money more than IDR 10,000 is allowed. Choose TV network that you trust to donate.
