 Thinking about this disaster last night as I lay in my comfortable bed, after just recently having spent a day on the beach with my family, and knowing that my family was safe with a roof over our head and feeling totally helpless not being able to help, I realised that I had to do something to help.
The best thing I could think of was to encourage my fellow Plumbers on MasterPlumbers.com to join me in supporting the International Red Cross Asia Quake Tsunami Appeal.
MasterPlumbers.com sends out a challenge to all Plumbers, Plumbing Associations, Manufacturers, Suppliers etc to support the Red Cross Asia Quake Tsunami Appeal.
If all Plumbers got behind this Appeal, think of the help this will be to those affected by this horrific tragedy. We are lucky we are not directly affected so lets get together and do our bit to help.
For Plumbing Companies, why not donate an amount per employee say $100 per employee and self employed Plumbers could also donate $100 or more.
My Companies Chiswick Plumbing Pty Ltd and Nice.com.au Pty Ltd have 13 employees plus myself so I have donated $1400 to get things started, can you help raise this figure?
Please remember to send your Name, Company, Website, State, Country and donation value (in order to see what we can raise as a group) to TsunamiAppeal@MasterPlumbers.com so we can add your name to the 'Thank You List' on MasterPlumbers.com (http://www.MasterPlumbers.com/tsunami/thankyou.asp)
