The Stanford Daily Online Edition-Students fundraise for Indonesia disaster

The Stanford Daily Online Edition: "Skip a Starbucks, Save an Orphan.” With this as their slogan, the Indonesian Club at Stanford (ICS) and the Muslim Students Awareness Network (MSAN) have teamed up to raise money to support the GiveLight Foundation, which, according to its Web site, is a “world recognized crisis relief organization that seeks to create durable orphanages in response to natural disasters.”

Organizers said the Foundation originated as a response to the tsunamis that struck Southeast Asia Dec. 26, 2004, killing tens of thousands.

“The founder, Dian Alyan, started it soon after the 2004 tsunamis hit in Southeast Asia,” said MSAN member Nabill Idrisi, a freshman."
