Dearest friends,
As many of you will know, the Indonesian island of Lombok has been shaken by three devastating earthquakes in little more than a week. 355 aftershocks have been felt since Sunday the 6th of August. Authorities say the death toll has risen above 400, and 270,000 people are displaced or homeless. The Red Cross has estimated that 20,000 people in remote areas in the north of the island have still not been attended to following the first quake on the 29th of July.
We are raising money to help the people of Senaru, who are located in one of the worst affected regions (Bayan, North Lombok). Senaru, home to many of the porters and guides who work tirelessly on Mt Rinjani, now lies in ruins. Without insurance or income these amazing people will be unable to house or support their families - their situation is dire.
1000’s of our dear friends, guides and porters and their extended families in the North Lombok region are experiencing enormous hardship, having lost the security of their usual income whilst Mt Rinjani is closed indefinitely. There are no ‘safety-nets’ on Lombok, and it is unlikely that aid will be distributed fairly.
There are many fundraisers, however this one is specifically aimed at helping these incredible mountain guides and families get back on their feet. Climbing Mt Rinjani provides so much more than gratifying our deeply desired bucket list goals; these beautiful people and their economy rely on adventurous travellers to feed their families and school their children.
Please chip-in, any amount you can. The cost of a coffee will go further than you think, but if you can spare more it will be much appreciated. By donating, you will be helping to provide food and water, shelter, blankets, and much needed medical aid.
Our most loving thoughts and prayers are with the people of Lombok,
With deepest gratitude,
Aef and Nur
& all our wonderful guides and porters
