Indonesian Earthquake: How to Help
Photo from: CNN Gallery
The magnitude-6.3 quake hit Indonesia (Central Java) on Saturday, May 26, 2006, flattened many buildings and killing more than 5,000 people. This nation’s worst disaster since the 2004 tsunami also wounded thousands more. Hundreds of thousands are displaced. They need medical assistance, food, clean water, and shelters.
How you can help?You can help the earthquake victims by making a financial donation to any of the following charities below.
I have done a small research and found out that these are established and trusted organizations. Those located in the US are registered as public charity with 501 (c) (3) status. All of them have specifically appealed for donation for Indonesian Earthquake of May 2006.
For those who reside in Indonesia and are willing to contribute, you can find my other compilation (in Indonesian) here.

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
Don‘t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
