Dear Everyone,

Collin has generously offered me to send an announcement to the group regarding my fundraising campaign for my hometown in West Sumatra, Padang, which was recently hit by the 7.6 earthquake on September 30.

I have established this website, together with my high school alumni around the globe, to raise fund for Relief and Rebuild programs, which we will manage ourselves to cut through bureaucratic and politics:
www.SumatraEarthquakeFund.org

I also have set up two fundraising dinners at my dining meetup groups on Oct 17 and 18, please join if you can:

We will be tasting regional cuisines from Padang, who is famous and infamous for spicy varieties of dishes.

Please visit the website often as I will be posting more stories, events, and updates directly from people we know who are still there and from our ongoing project.

We are currently pursuing a 501(c) non-profit for our organization - more to come on this.

Thank you for reading this message.

Best regards,

Yuliana
