Your help for Indonesia

We are a group of friends that met last week on Gili T. 
We have organized this small crowfunding initiative to help some Indonesian friends damaged by the Earthquake that hit Lombok Saturday 5th of August.  

During our magical stay on the small island, we had the opportunity to stay and spend every day with some amazing locals:
- EKO and Aris were running a small business on turtle point in the North part of the Island. They were organizing unique trips around the three Gilis and for some crazy tourists also some spearfishing activities. EKO, father of a young girl and with the wife pregnant, was building his brand new shop dreaming for his future business activities.
- Daniel a 19 years old funny person from Lombok had a small shop of handmade bracelets and local souvenirs. He was working during the day and sleeping in the same shop at night. He was always smiling and making jokes with tourists. He was thinking of expanding his business.
- Budy 40 years old with his own shop father of two small girls.
And many others...

We shared thoughts, traditions, jokes, and many big smiles together... but the 5th of August at 7: 46 PM an earthquake hit Lombok and these small islands. They all lost their houses and their jobs.

We are daily in close contact with them and they are all safe, but they need help as soon as possible.  Many are now stuck in make shift camps without access to food or water.

The donated money will be transferred to the account of the campaign organizer Stefano Marinoni who will take care of transferring it to Eko's bank account. This money will be used initially to buy basic necessities: water and food. The ultimate goal is to help them rebuild their homes. For this reason the greater the amount collected the greater the help that we can guarantee to our friends.

To build a house in Indonesia cost 3.000 € which for them is a lot of money, but if we are able to share and donate a small amount each as a community this can make a big change.

Imagine that a launch sacrificed could help them survive for 3/4 days.

Any kind of support will be highly appreciated.

We learnt from them:
"Our best moment is not the childhood or the youth, is TODAY.
Be positive, always smile.
The smile has no cost, a smile makes a person happy and so the happiness grows and becomes bigger. No body has Nothing, except for his big smile".

Let us help them to have their big smile back!
