We are trying to raise money for those in need.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your messages and offers of help to our friends in Lombok. My apologies in not answering your Facebook comments. Many of you who visited us over the 5 years we lived on Gili Trawangan would have experienced the kindness and generous hospitality of our staff family. We have started this givealittle page to repay some of that generosity in their hour of need.
I have been on the phone to 3 lucky friends( Sabit,Zakirin and Hairi) who thankfully have not lost their homes. From them I have a clearer picture of exactly what the devastation is and how best we can help. During the earthquake their houses crumbled to the ground burying all their belongings.
We have a kiwi friend living in Lombok, she is willing to oversea the direction of your donations and be sure it goes to our family friends and their villages.
The money will go towards tents, rice, water, bedding and clothing.
It's hard to encapsulate the enormity of this disaster and the impact it has on these beautiful people. We know this will be hugely appreciated by these villagers who have a soft spot for kiwis!
Two years ago we were working on Gili Trawagan and the majority of our staff were from villages in Lombok. We were very close with our staff and operated like a big happy family. They were kind humble people, who gave all from their heart. These men and their families are earthquake victims who have lost their entire homes and in some cases friends and relatives. We would like to help them.
Water, food, medicines and shelter.
