Tsunami Help

Here's a link I got in an email today of some before and after satellite photos of the tsunami. These are the best pictures I've seen to date of the devastation it caused. There's also a link to information and relief organizations.

More money has been sent over there than they can possibly use for the forseeable future. Give them a chance to rebuild their infrastructure and see what is needed then. Give it a few months and you also reduce the liklihood of waste as well.

I've only heard one group say something along these lines thus far--Médecins Sans Frontières.

It is a good idea to stretch out your giving with a major disaster like this that will absorb many years/dollars. When they drift off the tv screens the funds will dry up. You may want to look for a group that is set up for long term development. As usual I'm going with CRS but there is a charity for everybody out there.
