However, the tragedy is huge & the relief needed will be so diverse, I
thought some may want this information.

How to Help
A List of Organizations Accepting Donations to Provide Disaster Relief
Compiled From Staff and Wire Reports
Wednesday, December 29, 2004; 2:17 PM
Here are some of the local and national organizations accepting
donations to help victims of the South Asian tsunami. Most groups
recommend that people donate cash rather than supplies. Some Web sites,
such as the Network for Good, allow people access to listings of
U.S.-based charitable organizations in a searchable database. Amazon.com
also enables users to route donations to organizations from its
homepage.
