Help Sulawesi earthquake victims

Donación protegida
On Friday evening, Sept 28, 2018, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck the city of Palu, in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The city had been planning a beach/harbor festival for the evening that the earthquake hit. The earthquake triggered a tsunami with waves up to 3 m (10 ft) high that ravaged the city, killing hundreds of people and flattening thousands of buildings. The video below shows the impact and destruction of this terrifying event. Currently more than 800 people are confirmed dead, but the death toll continues to rise. Hundreds of others are injured, thousands of homes have been destroyed, and Palu's infrastucture has been severely damaged.

 I lived in Palu and nearby Lindu for 2 years while conducting my dissertation research. This area is therefore near and dear to my heart. Telecommunication have been down, so it’s been difficult getting information from my friends and family there, but it is slowly coming in. Fortunately, so far, many people are safe, BUT their homes are completely destroyed. I am heartbroken for them.

I have initiated this fundraising campaign to help raise funds to support my friends’ recovery and rebuilding of their lives. Please know that ANY amount will help. I will guarantee that the funds will go directly to help.

 Please consider donating and share widely with your friend, colleague, and family networks.  Terima kasih banyak atas perduliannya. (Thank you very much)
