Biomatters to donate 5% of the value of purchased licenses in December to help rebuild in Samoa

At 6:48:11 local time in Samoa on September 29, 2009, a sub-marine earthquake occurred that devastated parts of Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga. Biomatters is linked with the people of Samoa through our close geographic location in the South Pacific and particularly through the Chairman of our Board of Directors, Greg Casagrande. Greg is the founder of the South Pacific Business Development Foundation of Samoa, an organization that provides a hand up to small business owners and entrepreneurs in the Islands, and has flown in to personally contribute his time and money to the redevelopment of these shattered communities.
The devastation has been horrific. Lives, communities and resources have been ravaged and the people of Samoa are struggling to rebuild with limited funding and support. In the spirit of humanitarianism and giving, Biomatters will donate 5% of the value of every license purchased in December specifically to the reconstruction of the staff housing of the hospital in Poutasi, a village almost completely destroyed by the tsunami as shown in this television report.
100% of the money raised will go directly to the right people rebuilding the hospital's staff housing that was wiped out, not a nameless agency. We thank you in advance for being a part of rebuilding the Poutasi Hospital staff housing, and providing help to the thousands that have been stranded without access to water or basic medical care.
