About ACRF
Jim and Mena are the directors of Asian Children’s Relief Fund. ACRF was founded in October of 2005 as a result of a massive Tsunami that struck off the island of Sumatra Indonesia in December 2004. Since then Asian Children’s Relief Fund has continued to grow and be a blessing to many orphans and children at risk in the natural disaster and economically challenged areas of South East Asia.
We provide these children with caring and loving sponsors who will assist the children according to their needs, providing opportunity to heal, excel and achieve their highest aspirations to become the leaders of their communities in the future.
Through monthly contributions, caring sponsors are able to directly affect the lives of children who cannot help themselves. ACRF is helping children live a better life and have a new hope for the future. Through these efforts we hope to see many lives touched for the kingdom.
Please contact us today to see how God would have you become directly involved in the life of a young boy or girl. Checkout our website at www.tsunamicrf.org or asiancrf.blogspot.com or contact us by email at jimd468@yahoo.com
The Asian Tsunami 2004
On December 26th 2004 a massive Tsunami was triggered by an earthquake deep under the sea to the west of the island of Sumatra Indonesia. With the power of 1,000 Hiroshima sized Atom bombs the Tsunami struck the coast of Sumatra with lethal force. The area of sea-surge was immense stretching a distance of over 200 kilometers north to south and 100 kilometers West to East. This area extends from the city of Meulaboh in the South on the Western coast of Aceh Sumatra through the capital city of Banda Aceh to Lhok Suemewe in the East. With a wave height reported of 30 meters the tsunami struck the coastlines and into the interior up to 5 kilometers in some areas. Houses, schools, buildings were virtually wiped of the earth as the wave pushed inland. Millions were affected and still remember the powers of God and Nature that day, over 250,000 people are estimated to have died in that tragic earthquake and tsunami that struck in Indonesia alone. Of all the most affected area from the Tsunami that stretch from Thailand in the East to Africa in the West, none have been as hard hit as Aceh, Sumatra Indonesia.
