indonesian_open FW: Fundraising for schools in Sumatra

[Wittman, Leonie]

Dear Colleagues

After forwarding information about the loss of students, teachers and schools in Sumatra, several teachers have contacted me to ask whether there is a relief fund specifically for schools in the affected areas.

 

I spoke to John Davenport at the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra and you can read his response below. It may be of interest to those of you who want to organise fundraising activities.

 

Salam

Hi Leonie,

 

In response to you phone call the administration at the Embassy has considered your suggestion and is very supportive and appreciative of the idea.

 

If schools are willing to raise funds for schools/students in Sumatra they should send a cheque made out to the Embassy of Indonesia. They should address their letter as follows.

Education Donations

Mr Yudhi has guaranteed that the funds the schools raise will be sent to the Education Department in Jakarta and used to assist the rebuilding and re-equipping of schools in Sumatra that were destroyed or damaged by the tsunami. The funds will also be used to equip the temporary tent schools that are being established.

 

Please contact me if we can supply more details to teachers.

 

Terima kasih.

 

John Davenport
