Tsunami Support

posted Wednesday, 29 December 2004
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but if any off-topic subject deserves posting, it's this one.  The recent Tsunami that caused such devistation and loss of life in South Asia may not effect many of us directly, but the images and the mounting death toll that we keep hearing about through news reports has made many of us eager to help, if only in some small way.  Money won't bring back lives, but it could make things at least slightly easier for the survivors of this disaster.  I've been traveling this week and so time and internet access has not been plentiful, but I wanted to at least point to others who've been able to amass some information about giving support.  Ben Rosenbaum, a good friend of ours, has compiled a nice list of aid organizations with additional information about them, ratings, etc., so you can make your own decision as to which places make most sense for you to donate to.  Our hearts go out to all those effected by this tragedy.  The sheer numbers just boggle the mind.

I've tried to avoid looking at the imagery - crushingly depressing. Donations are a great thing, I hope all of us are able to commit at least a small sum to help.
