Asia aid

If anyone has been paying attention to the news, radio, or even the internet, you have seen the terrible destruction and numerous deaths that have occurred in asia. Villages completely wiped out, death strewn along the coasts, and families torn apart. I knew 4 people who were in the areas effected by the enormous tsunamis. Fortunately all 4 people have given word that they are okay. All I can say about that is .......... WHEW!

What everyone needs to do, if they haven't already, is to donate what they can to relief aids dedicated to feed, clothe and help all the displaced people in the tsunami- and earthquake-ravaged asian countries. And speaking from experience, it also feels good to help those in need. Here is a list of organizations helping the hurting asian countries (and other needy countries around the world):

Thanks for giving!
