Last January, Creative Learning launched a campaign to collect funds to help children in Indonesia who have been affected by the tsunami. One hundred percent of all collected donations, plus dollar for dollar matching funds up to the first $10,000 we received, went directly to help the most vulnerable victims in the Aceh province of Indonesia.
Creative Learning contacted the Yayasan Inovasi Pemerintahan Daerah/ Center for Local Government Innovation (YIPD/CLGI), a professional Indonesian foundation with links to Aceh, and their local partner Forum Bangun Aceh (FBA), that volunteered staff time and effort. Working with the YIPD/CLGI and FBA allowed us to channel funds directly to victims on the ground. To learn more about these groups, please www.fba.or.id
