I got this forwarded message from sehatgroup. Please kindly pay attention for all of you who will donate for the earthquake natural disaster in Yogyakarta.
Attention to everyone in anywhere, please learn from the earthquake happened in Aceh and Nias :
1. DO NOT DONATE POWDERED OR FORMULA MILK.
Your kind help can be delivered in bottled water which is much more advantageous. In emergency condition (such as Yogyakarta earthquake's aftermath), clean ready-to-drink water is hard to get. In addition, the behavior to heat water until it's completely boiled is hard to do due to the absence of adequate stoves and fuel.
Using powdered/formula milk in a handicapped manner and unclean bottle (used to feed) will increase the risk of diarrhea among the victims.
2. DO NOT DONATE BOTTLE INTENDED FOR FEEDING BABIES
The same reason as the above mentioned. Instead, you can donate hand sanitizer and/or soaps because they will afford better protection from diarrhea. Remember, washing hands can decrease 50% risk from illness.
Please understand, in this emergency condition, supporting mothers nutritionally and morally so they are able to breastfeed their children is the best proper choice. Breastmilk is the safest, cheapest, practical, and most suitable for 0-6 months old babies.

My dear friends, we better equipped our kindness with some amount of knowledge. So the charity would not be a cause for further trouble to the people we help.
). Well, that’s the price I have to pay for a healthy learning boy. I’m happy for it.
