Everyone! You may or may not have heard but the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia (my home country) has been hit by a devastating tsunami, the numbers of confirmed dead have risen to at least 2,000 and over 5,000 are predicted to be either missing or dead. Just two months ago, Lombok was hit by an earthquake that left about 400 dead. Indonesia is beginning to refuse foreign aid.

I encourage (and beg) you all to research these two disasters and possibilities for donations. Please, please help my country and hope that no other major disasters will happen again this year (Indonesia is placed in the worst part of the ring of fire and has 127 active volcanoes.)

Here are the Australian Red Cross and UNICEF donations:
