2nd call, ISMIL 9, Maninjau, July 2005

[David Gil]

As you all know, Aceh and North Sumatra were recently hit by a natural
disaster of horrific proportions. Fortunately, Maninjau and its environs
were spared. We believe that by coming to Sumatra and participating in
ISMIL 9, we can show our support to the people of Sumatra in their time
of need, and also give a small yet meaningful boost to the islands
economy. If you wish to learn more about our activities in support of
the relief operations in Aceh, please visit the following website:
