I have been reading the postings of absolutely everybody on this forum over the past couple of days and have noticed that we all agree on something ... that the Balinese are beautiful people and they will most likely suffer due to the recent attacks.

Obviously we all love Bali and the people otherwise we wouldn't be using this forum.

My question (or should I say, proposal) is this...

Why don't those of us that care so much start a "charity" (if you like) which will provide clothes, toys and even money etc for the people in Bali who will be the most affected by this tragedy? We would all obviously have to sort out the details of what is distributed where, who we get to deliver the goods and so on, but I thought it would help all of us if we do something positive as opposed to doing nothing. I also thought it would ease people's minds who had cancelled their trips to Bali and were feeling somewhat guilty because of their decision...this can be their contribution and their way to help too.

Any comments, thoughts, ideas etc are sought.
