The WaVes - Tamil Tragedy?
I phoned to my aunt in Jaffna (St. Patrick's Rd / Main Street) today morning to get more information about the desasterous Wave that happened today Dec 26th in the aftermath of the X'mas 2004. She said "I'm not in the mood to talk to you... it is a big desaster... Sorry.. " in an excusing melodical way and quit. :cry:
What do you know? Who can provide more information?

Tsunami Disaster Relief - Help Needed!!
Dear Friends,
It is really frustrating sometimes to watch the news of the massive calamity which has stuck south east asia. There are more than 23000 people dead, more than 100,000 rendered homeless , sick and injured.We all wish we can do something to alleviate the miseries of the thousands of families stuck by this mighty blow of nature.What can we do thousands of miles away from those places?. I can hear some saying I wish I can do something to help these people... I bet some of you residing in the places where the tsunami stuck would have run to those places and given your personal help.. to those who did that, GREAT WORK and We Salute You... for those so many miles away from the region of calamity...
I can hear you saying wish I was there in chennai or srilanka or andaman to help these people... may be that is not the most optimum way to help... there are experienced army personnel/calamity volunteers/Red cross workers to do such activities in the most appropriate manner... may be you are suited for helping in some other way those army personnel cant ... what can we all do? Can we do something thousands of miles away?
We surely can.
One of the ways is to donate money to aid the relief operations. Money is something we all have and can spare some (whatever amount). This wont even take you a minute. Please take time off your busy schedule and do this small thing. It definitely is not going to solve all problems, but definitely would go a long away to solve one of those problems (may be saving a kid's life or a day's meal or a packet of clean water... something...something...)
Here is one of the links I found through which you can donate:
https://www.aidindia.org/aidadmin/DonateToRRF.jsp
There are other links too. 9 Banks in india have opened a counter for collecting releif donations. Please donate in whatever means you fnd appropriate.But Please do not fail to donate and lose an opportunity to help those in dire need of that. I assure you it would be really fulfilling and satisfying act for you.
Please Please Help These People!!
