In the aftermath of the earthquake and the ensuing tsunami off the coast of Sumatra, the Indonesian Catholics (PWKI) of Chicagoland has set up a relief fund to help the victims in the affected areas on the west coast of Sumatra.
If you would like to assist the victims and their families through monetary contribution, please send your donation to:
Indonesian Relief Fund
St Therese Church
218 W. Alexander Street
Chicago, IL 60616
(Check or MO payable to St. Therese Church
Memo line: Indonesian Relief Fund)
The intent of the fund is to assist the areas that are not easily accessible or have received less coverage from the mass media.We have established direct contacts with several of our Catholic Brothers and Sisters in Aceh and North Sumatra provinces, specifically in Lhokseumawe and the island of Nias. They have been providing direct relief support for the tsunami's victims in those areas.
The donation will be sent to our Brothers & Sisters in multiple phases. The first phase will be distributed on Monday 10 January 2005.
Weblogs about our contacts & dialogs can be viewed on Father Eko's humanitarian webpage:
