Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

As many people are already aware, this shocking disaster has already made headlines around the world and claimed the lives of over 180 people, with the toll still rising. Entire communities have been wiped out and we have all been deeply affected. Day after day shocking and heartbreaking stories continue to emerge as the full horror of what transpired on Black Saturday continues to unfold.

This is very close to home for us, some of the worst fires occurring in the outskirts of Melbourne, Ripple’s home town. We all know people who have been affected, saw their houses and property destroyed, or worse yet, lost friends or loved ones.

The cost of this disaster has been estimated at over $1.5 billion.
The Red Cross are providing aid, accommodation, medical support, and food for over 7500 people.

Please take a moment to consider donating to assist the effort in rebuilding these shattered communities and helping those who have lost everything.

Hey Ripplers,

We’d like you to check out a great Ripple ad put together completely by some keen Ripple volunteers – Amelia Birrell, Steve Murray, Georgie Langmead, and Olivia Thomas from RMIT in Melbourne, Australia.

These guys have put a lot of hard work and effort into shooting and editing a short video ad to help get the Ripple message out there. Guys we salute your efforts!

Also a big thanks to David Usher, a well known Canadian recording artist who gave permission to use his track “The River” in the video. David you rock.

Check the vision below and let us know what you think!
