EARTHQUAKE: Crisis in Indonesia Hits Home |
 Our newsletter is delayed this month due in part to the unfortunate events that have befallen Padang, West Sumatra. As you may know, two serious earthquakes struck that city last week resulting in wide-spread destruction and many casualties.
You may not be aware, however, that Leonardo Stoute "Bapak Waleed", the founder of our center, was in Padang during the tragedy. He has been invited by several universities there to come teach the cultural arts which have been his passion for over 30 years. He lives in the greater Padang area and was downtown when the earthquakes struck.
Fortunately, Leonardo is okay, having successfully escaped from a collapsing building, and he has spent the long days since the event deeply involved in the rescue and relief efforts that are so needed throughout the region. We at the center are working with both American and Indonesian relief groups to send them support, financial or otherwise, as soon as possible.
All of you interested in contributing to this effort are invited to contact us at relief@bmswc.com. Thank you in advance for your contribuation, thank you for your thoughts and prayers for all those affected by this catastrophe.
