I posted Wednesday informing people of a flight going to Aceh with supplies and where you could donate and I received a few replies and wanted to say Thanks.
The Oaktree Foundation have been fortunate enough to organise, with the help of Garuda Airlines, another flight leaving Melbourne on Friday 14th January. If you would like to make a material donation (Melbourne only) then it would be much appreciated. Some people worry that 100% of their donated cash will not make it to Asia but in this case, cash is not what is needed but rather food and materials and it will be flown direct to Aceh.
I have attached a list of what is needed, the Oaktree Website so you can see their work and also a drop off point. I realise that this is not accessible to all forumites but I appreciate you reading my post and I would like to thank this forum and you guys for allowing me to post this article. Cheers.

Drop off point is at The Oak Tree Foundation 836 Burke Road Camberwell Victoria
