Resilience Kit

In the early morning of Saturday, May 27th, 2006 at 05.55 a.m. an earthquake of 6.3 magnitude hit Yogyakarta, Indonesia - a city rich with culture, active in art and crafts endeavors. The death toll now has reached 6,200 - thousands of people are left shocked and homeless, their house flattened by the earthquake.

I love Yogya, I have many artist friends there and the people there are very friendly, patient and kind. It's a unique, beautiful city with Borobodur and Prambanan Temples nearby. Fortunately, all friends that I know are safe. Nonetheless this is a very devastating disaster.

Let's do what we can to help the victims! I created this RESILIENCE KIT to raise some funds. I wish all the people in Yogya are blessed with the resilience they need to face this heart-breaking disaster. Purchase this kit between June 2 - July 2, 2006: 100% proceeding will go to the relief efforts through a few social foundations working to help the people in Yogya.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
