A local fisherman saved my life. Now I'm returning the favor.
On a vacation from his work in political advertising, Ryan Clayton found himself carried out to see by a riptide off the coast of Lombok, an island in Indonesia. He was saved by a local fisherman named Pur, who was drawn into the stormy ocean waves by a dream he had. Just one week later, Pur's tiny fishing village of Nipah was ravaged by a series of magnitude 7.0 earthquakes that left thousands homeless on the island. Now, he's out to save the lives of those who saved him. #RebuildNipah
