A country can have all the money in the world and still be in poverty. There are so many circumstances that can influence a country's well being, especially its region's climate. Indonesia lies in the heart of The Ring of Fire in Southeast Asia, which is plagued by bad weather. We all remember the massive 9.0 tsunami that struck Indonesia in 2004. Well, Indonesia's unfortunate location has lead to more destruction for the nation. In the final week of October 2010, Indonesia was the victim of an earthquake, a tsunami, and a volcanic eruption within 48 hours.
How can a nation expect to prosper and give it's people a healthy lifestyle when its constantly being hammared by ferocious weather and natural disasters? Fortunately, in times of great disasters human beings are able to come together and help their fellow man. Despite borders and cultural differences, help can be given to those whom we have never met. Many countries and organizations are donating money to aid those who need relief. So if anyone is willing to help prove this aspect of human generosity, then donations to help aid the relief of Indonesia's recent disaster victims can be made at any American Red Cross.
