On a mission for Rubes

This sites purpose is to inform people of what Rubina Wong's family, friends and I are doing to aid victims of the Asian Tsunami. Rubina passed away as a result of the Tsunami on December 26th, 2004 in Koh Phi Phi, Thailand . I was on Koh Phi Phi island with my girlfriend Rubina Wong and my sister Christine. Rubina was swept away by the waves while walking with my sister to grab a drink at the seven eleven. About a month later we were able to bring her back home to Canada to her mom, sister and the rest of her family and friends. Right now we are organizing people in Hong Kong and Vancouver to start up a Charity/Trust. As it stands now our mission statement looks like this:

"Our goal is to carry on the love of Rubina Wong and other victims of the Asian Tsunami in a positive and constructive way. We will do this by giving assistance directly and to groups that act to help young victims of the Asian Tsunami. We are most interested in causes that have an immediate impact and are sustainable in the long term."

Rubina, was working at a kindergarten when this happened. She had alot of love for the children she taught and helped. As well for her friends, me and her family. Part of what im doing is trying to carry on Rubina's positive impact on people. We are getting this done by doing research and finding out where we can have the greatest impact in Thailand. I'm going back to the provinces of Krabi and Phuket on March 24th to gather more information and formalize an agreement for the aid work that needs to be done. While there I will be meeting up with other survivors and people helping out. Anyways I'm feeling a little rushed with this, but i will try and make it a daily thing especially while im in thailand........ gotta go teach
