transfer fund?

Dear Friends:
It is time to think to who we might want to donate for the earthquake rellief effort. I gathered some information regarding the organisation/person who organise the emergency rellief work and their bank information. Please note that if you send directly to them, you need the swift conde of the bank, and there will be a service charge (i.e: vancity charged $20 per wired money; TD Canada charged $30, it depends on which financial institution you will sending it with).

Just for simplification of work, I also open a new account in Vancity CU today just for this 'fund raising' thing-since some people already sending me some donations. Vancity account is good for friends who live around vancouver or BC, but I also have a TD account that can be used for receiving transfer. It is open to everybody who want collect some money that one person sending it. Or you can send your donation by yourself.

Bali, Vancouver to Yogyakarta

Fund raising proposal from Bali, Vancouver to Yogya

Refugees’ needs/listed by priority:

Tarpaulin needed

Many refugees, including hospital patients, are currently outside in the rain all day and night due to current weather conditions in and around Yogyakarta. While tarpaulin is available in the camp, more needed.

Food / basic necessities

This morning we received information that food is still difficult to get from the main camp. It is expected that the affected remote areas will have difficulty accessing food supplies.

General food supplies

I have organized a general kitchen for basic food supplies in the last two days, but the capacity is only 200 packs/day because of financial limitations. Please help. Each pack costs 1,250 rupiahs. Friends in my village in Yogya are doing the cooking.

The food distribution for today is still limited, I will try to expand the distribution to Bantul area especially the more remote areas and then the camp area.

Supplies scarce

Because of the scarcity of supplies in Yogya, and the high price if it is available, I will buy them on the way to Yogya this coming Wednesday. I will also bring about 100 or more tarpaulin, instant noodle, feminine hygiene, candles.

Oil and Gas

Although UNICEF has donated lanterns etc, candles are more needed for personal lighting/ per family refugee group.

Feminine Hygiene

Apart from being hard to get, they are expensive.

Blankets
No sponsor yet.

Decent clothing
No sponsor yet.

Medicines

I got news this morning that in the camp area, medicines are adequate although not quite enough, hospitals lack medical supplies but supplies from other regions have partially come through.


FUNDRAISING AND REPORT
Operational

All operational costs will be from my own pocket. I will use the money donated for refugees’ needs.

I have organize fundraising in Singapore, Norway, USA and Netherlands, some have confirmed but fund would like be arriving early net week so please prioritize local Indonesian donation.

Report and photographs

I will make a detail report on my website and also by email. I will manange my accounting to avoid discrepancy of fund and transaction.
Miscellaneous

In the 4th days after

Time is going so fast. I wish I can stop the time and review what I already did and make some correction of the wrong things. But I just a normal human being. This thinking, I put in the beggining of this update for us to do better in this life..
Update for more information about Earthquke rellief effort from friends and family and collegue.
Bali friend's idea
I talked to friend of mine who live in Bali and he is in Yogyakarta right now. He and his friends to do some rellief effor in bantul area. His mission is simple as mine, trying to help as far as he can, trying to 'cut' the administration cost of emmergency relief work. All opreational cost is his own responsiblities and all the money that he can gathered are directly to go to the victims' needs. I will put his fund raising proposal in this blog as well. Thanks to kemal Wahju-Vancouver friends who is helping me to translate this proposal. Budi Kusumo, is his name and he is originally from yogyakarta as well, but working in Bali for number of years already. I think his idea is just simple and briliant. He will also take some pictures that he will share it to us near future. For sure, I will keep you upadate if you still want to.

How about gathering funds in Canada/Vancouver area ? My rommate Robin have some sugestion that I should collect the funds and send it to Indonesia-to whoever need the most, or person, organization that are doing the work. I will prefer to send to the individual, or local organizations that are working in the field. It does not mean that I don't believe big organization, but I prefer without or less an "administration cost".

Rina are you okay?
I still trying to contact Yulia Rina Wijaya (former to-Canada Crossroad 1998), but unfortunatly I can not get hold on her yet. I believe she is really busy at the moment. So far, my understanding is that her family in Yogya and Bantul area are fine; But I am not too sure about that yet. She is working for the organization that has a emergency rellief program as well. Her organisation is might be good to get some help too.

Some other information;
- Thanks to Shwana Balwin-To Indonesia Xroads 97 and her family, who are committed to send some funds to Bethesda Hospital.
-Thanks to Ibu Wil who is spreading out the words and I will update the list of e-mails

-Here is I found a link of information about Earthquake in Yogyakarta; sorry if in Bahasa. http://helpjogja.net/
