Longtime members may remember Bandit Leader and his school in Malaysia www.ubat.com.my/ I have been in communication and the entire instructional staff are in Indonesia volunteering. Needed more than anything are water purification and tents. Donating money is logistically the best way of helping. The disruption in classes may hurt Utan financially too. Perhaps later donations for Bandit's orphaned elephants would be appreciated. An elephant giving tourist rides apparently didn't need a warning siren and ran from the shore instinctively with several children on it's back. Apparently many animals displayed unusual behavior and moved to high ground.
