QF donates 200M Rupiah to Indo quake survivors
On 17 June 2006, Rythm Foundation made a 200 Million Rupiah donation to the Coordinating Board for Management Disaster. Mr. Bernhard Mayer, RF Trustee and GoldQuest Chairman, and Ms. Wita Dahlan, QuestNet Corporate Communications Manager for Indonesia, personally handed the cheque to the Vice Governor of Yogyakarta Sri Paku Alam.
Yogyakarta, one of the prominent cultural tourist destinations in Indonesia, was badly hit by a 5.9 Richter-Scale earthquake on 27 May 2006, at 05.55 a.m. local time, leaving many injured, more than 6,200 people dead, and 1.5 million people homeless.
Three days after the earthquake, RF sent a team to Yogyakarta. Led by Ms. Donna Imson, Director-in-charge of RF, the team set up a base camp at Kasihan, Bantul, the hardest hit town, which is adjacent to Yogyakarta. Ms. Imson, Mr. Michael Tham, QuestNet Country Manager for Indonesia, corporate staff and network leaders distribute food, water, medicine, blankets and other essential supplies.
Led by the two QI Deputy Regional Directors for Indonesia Mr. Mayer and Mr. Chuck Bismark, the team is also busy, visiting razed villages to assess possible assistance by RF.
RF has launched a fundraising campaign for the earthquake survivors. A special option is available in the e-store to enable you to make your donation through e-cards. Click here to know more about the Indonesia Quake Relief Fund.
Erratum: The meeting happened among Mr. Bernhard Mayer, Ms. Wita Dahlan and the Vice Governor of Yogyakarta Sri Paku Alam, not Mr. Bernhard Mayer, Ms. Donna Imson and Sultan of Yogyakarta and Governor of Central Java Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, as reported in QNN 14. Both Ms. Imson and Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X had a prior engagement. Corrections have been made in the online version of QNN 14.
