It has now been a few weeks since the earthquake and following tsunami which struck Indonesia.

There are many places with appeals for Indonesia victims and survivors - many will need long term support to be able to rebuild, others may never recover.

If you can afford it, any little that you can give will help.

From The Guardian(link is external):

Nearly 3,800 people have been killed and more than 100,000 left homeless by the earthquake in Nepal, officials have said as the search intensified for those in remote villages that are out of the reach of rescue teams.

By all accounts the earthquake was huge (magnitude 7.8) and Nepal is a severely impoverished country.

We returned exhausted from our mission of transporting aid to the earthquake stricken region of Kashmir on behalf of the people of Bolton. Mentally and physically drained from the reality of our experience, nothing could have prepared us for what we witnessed.
