- ********* FLORES QUAKE RELIEF EFFORT********
-
- Dear readers: Peace
-
- You may have heard from the news media that recently an
- earthquake has hit severely the Island of Flores, East Indonesia. The
- exact death toll rises day by day. The New York Times (Dec 14, 1992)
- reports that according to Indonesian officials the earthquake measured
- 6.8 on the Richter scale. The United States Geological Survey
- put it even higher at 7.5. The city of Maumere suffered the most; 80% of the
- buildings had been destroyed, 1,232 people confirmed dead, and many
- more rendered homeless. The people of Flores are predominantly catholic.
- The Paroki-net, meaning "Parish-net"--a network for Indonesian
- Students abroad, mostly catholic, but is also open to Indonesian
- students of different Christian denominations and even of other
- religions--is making an appeal to all who are willing to contribute
- money to help relieving the suffering people in Flores.
- The Paroki-net (internet: paroki@uiuc.edu) can channel your
- contribution. Since we are all students, we could only manage
- financial contribution. For this purpose, checks or money order can
- be sent to the Paroki-net's Relief Effort Committee:
-
- Mr. Teddy Setya

- Philadelphia, PA 19104

-
- For accounting purpose, we ask you to report your contribution to:
- Mr. Parulian Sihotang (internet address: pxs29@po.cwru.edu).
- He will record your contribution and send you an acknowledgement upon
- receipt.
- For latest news update about this disaster, you can check
- reg.indonesia.
- Thank you for your kind help.
