good morning. check out the latest photos coming in from the mentawai’s… this is just the tsunami damage, and just imagine what the huge volcano eruption is doing to that country too?
this was once a village. now, there’s nothing…
this is the macaroni’s luxury camp. or should i say, this was the macaroni’s luxury camp. when i went there, it was so beautiful. there were nice bungalow’s lined up along the river and all that’s left is the restaurant. so looking at this photo makes me sad..
this is also pretty sad to look at. the people of indonesia are some of the most kind people in the world. all they have left is what’s in their hands…
this is even sadder. these people hardly had anything to begin with. now? nothing…. and to make things worst, i heard there are still dead bodies on the beach waiting for burial. over 430 people died and a lot still missing. kids too…
**i was just about to write a check for a donation, then i got an email from eri-chan at honey girl. she told me that she wants to donate something too and said that there are probably more japanese who wants to donate to the mentawai tsunami relief fund. the problem? japan doesn’t have checks so eri-chan had a good idea. send donations by wire transfer, convenience transfer, or postal money to our go-naminori account. then we will collect it and write one check which will be sent with all the names of the donators.
i personally feel that i owe the people of the mentawai’s a lot. i’ve been there many of times and have the ultimate experiences. the lifestyle, the people, the waves, and the smiles. i just can’t forget it and i feel like it’s my time to give something back to the people. i’m donating something and if you want to, let’s do it. there’s no water, no food, and no electricity now. the people there are digging up roots from the ground and eating it because relief isn’t there yet. even a $10 or 1000 yen donation will be much appreciated by the people of the mentawai’s….
if you have further questions on how you can help, please email me: Kirby@go-naminori.com
