I want to send money directly to the villagers of Waraga village so that they can get the urgent supplies they need.

You saw the images on TV of Mataram and the mess that has been left? Well some of those people affected are my friends and I want to help.
The family and the rest of the village have told me that they need three things - Clean water, some food and fuel to power the generator. They are not asking for very much and they are pretty bloody good at managing on very little! They just need a break before they start rebuilding their homes and getting the school back up and running.
Why not send donations to other organisations? Well you can and that would be great too but I felt that I wanted to help my friends and their village directly. Every little helps
I will update you with photos and comments so you can see how your money is being spent- maybe even a video if the internet holds out!!!
I worked in Indonesia and got the chance to hang out with E-poul and his family a couple of times. The village has now been flattened by the earthquake. They have asked for food, clean water and fuel to power the generators.
The priorities are:
1. Water
2.Food
3. Fuel for the generator
If there is any money left over then they can use it for building material and start all over again.
E-poul will receive the funds on behalf of the villagers. I met E-poul when I was working in Indonesia. I will send the funds to E-poul via an international transfer.
