Children endure a second major earthquake, Save the Children responds

New Action:

From Save The Children:

It seems totally unfair that children and their families in Indonesia once again have been so heavily hit by a second major earthquake in three months. Yet again, the consequences of the quake that hit south Asia yesterday were most severe in areas where we have been working for some time.

Save the Children is moving quickly to respond and two planes loaded with medical kits and supplies are expected to leave Sumatra shortly. A large cargo ship containing medical kits, large tents, baby food and a variety of household items already is on its way to the islands. More...

Save the Children has assisted more than 200,000 children in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India since the December 26 earthquake. Because of the previous generosity of donors like you we believe we will not require additional funds to respond to this disaster however, if you would like to contribute to our work, we encourage you to consider supporting other Save the Children programs in more than 40 developing countries around the world, including the United States.

Thank you,
