7.4-magnitude Earthquake, Tsunami Cripple Indonesia
Natural Disaster Strikes Southeast Asia
Last Friday evening, the Central Sulawesi area of Indonesia was devastated by a 7.4-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami.
We were relieved to learn that our friends and business partners in the region are OK, but saddened that over 800 people lost their lives and the many thousands more were left homeless.
Basic necessities are urgently needed to help the victims.
How can you help?
We recommend several excellent Indonesian organizations that are welcoming donations.
