Death toll tops 100,000

Right. I'm going on like a stuck record, but people - this is serious shit. The death toll for the Tsunami Disaster has topped 100,000. It's now up to about 115,000, and it's likely to get higher.

If you have a spare bit of money, even if it's a tiny amount, DONATE! Think about those suffering in SE Asia - it's hell over there.

Again I'm pasting my banner. Please - use it! Spread the word, and don't let people forget. The suffering is ongoing, and we can't give up. If we're dedicated, if we're stubborn and strong and stick together, and we donate all we can, we might be able to avert the terrible outbreaks of diarrhea and disease, and feed the terrible numbers of homeless.



If you've spread the word, comment and let me know.

ETA:This is a great post by Lozzy on the subject. Read it.

You asked earlier about different groups to donate to, my suggestion is Food For Life, which will use 100% of donations directly to help people rather than on admin costs which I know is a concern of some people.

Thanks Nancy. I was moved by Lozzy's post as well. Keep up the good work.

I've been spreading the word, if it comforts you to know. The numbers of dead are horrifying, but the number of those suffering must be even greater.
