How to Donate for Sumatra Earthquake Victims
Update 17 October 2009: Scroll-down for Donation via SMS through all major telecom networks (Telkomsel, Indosat, XL, Esia, Axis, Telkom Flexi)
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.

China isn’t allowing aid workers into their country. But, You can donate money or material to help the victims. Check the Internet for aid groups to send things to. Make sure the group you donate too is real so you are sending aid to someone that needs it and not to some criminal.
We hope their life will normal again, better healty same like before earthquake
terus terang gue agak heran dan bertanya2x. Kenapa koq propinsi yg justru dikenal agamis malah yg ketimpa bencana smentara tempat2x laen yg dikenal pusat kemungkaran ga kena apa2x. Bukan doain sih, cuman heran aja
semoga proses rehabilitasi nya bisa cepet dilakukan dan ga malah dikorupsi
Eventhough i understand that it is the gesture of donating that counts rather than the amount donated. However in this case, i think the US is making a mockery of herself by donating such a small amount to China. Many rich individuals can afford to donate more than the US is donating. This action of the US is politically motivated. Sorry to say, but many Americans and westerners have already started saying that this disaster is the karmaric response to China’s treatment of Tibetans.
