Java Tsunami 2006 Appeal - page 2

08 Aug 2006

17 July 2006 - The iNSEARCH Java Tsunami appeal is launched in response to overwhelming offers of aid from friends and past travellers.  The plan is to raise funds to assist in the rebuilding of fishing boats in the village of Batukaras on the south coast of Java.  We figure that rebuilding the boats offers the locals more than just handouts, it offers them the opportunity to regain their livelihoods and independence.  A fundraising gig is arranged with funk/soul band THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS to be held in Fremantle, West Oz.

23 July 2006 - THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS gig sells out and tops up the coffers for the Java Tsunami Appeal (massive thanks to the lads from the band and their legendary tour manager Shannon).
