The 'Banjir' in Jakarta

The human cost of the 'Banjir' or flooding on ISCO Foundation prompted me to start an online crowdfunding campaing. The ISCO Flood Appeal stated that 800 Children had been Displaced and were Forced to Evacuate. The results so far has not been compelling.

When it comes to development-personal stories always trump numbers. This principle was reinforced to me this week when my colleague managed to fundraise over $1000 in a single day in support of a Refugee in Indonesia who needed pre-natal health care.
