Club Cares donates $1,000 to RescueNet, Indonesian appeal.

In late September 2009 Indonesia was struck by an earthquake 57km southeast of the city of Padang in West Sumatra followed by a second earthquake. On 1 October a further earthquake struck in neighbouring Jambi province.

Over 60 people lost their lives, almost 300,000 houses were either destroyed and damaged.

RescueNet, an internationally recognised disaster response team, flew to the country's aid to provide vital assistance in the days immediately following the disaster. Greg & Kay Brien, The Investors Club Members, NSW approached Club Cares to support RescueNet's efforts whilst Kay herself flew to Indonesia to provide vital medical support. Club Cares responded with a $1,000 donation to RescueNet to assist with their efforts.

"There is a huge task ahead for Indonesia to rebuild what has been lost." said Kay Brien on her return.
