We were all devastated when we saw what hit Japan a couple of weeks ago. Earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear reactor leak threat causing countless casualties. As mere mortal and fellow humans we sure hope that everything will return back to the way it was there. And we, from DailySocial also offers our deepest condolence of this disaster.
To show concerns, Elasitas as one of well known local developer, develop a Blackberry application, pro bono, called Indonesia for Japan (ID for Japan) as distribution place. Calvin Kizana, CEO of Elasitas, in his press release said that this application can help creating positif attitude between Indonesian people and to encourage them to get involve more in voluntary activity, Indonesia for Japan. Calvin added, “If there’s such thing as perfect time for us to join hands and help each other, this will be it – because the world’s future is in our hands.”
IDforJapan is accessible through touch screen and keyboard BlackBerry cell phone with operation system at least version 5. Inside the app you can monitor news aggregation on Japan’s disaster, collected from national and international news, with image and video updates, you can also donate your fund via bank transfer.
Local donation is managed by Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) and they receive donation in form of USD or IDR. You can confirm your transferred donation through form available in the application. There’s bar graphic indicating how high (in form of quality not quantity) suppots given by Indonesian.
For international news, there’s information on programs managed by international human organization, such as US Red Cross, British Red Cross, and Australian Red Cross. You can get further information from their Twitter account @IDforJapan. Up to this moment there is no information as to till when this news will be aggregated and for how long they collect donation. It’s too bad that the application is only available via BlackBerry platform, but we still have to appreciate this pro bono action they are doing. Don’t let this slow us to give helps to our brothers and sisters in Japan.
