I know it's after xmas and everyone is tight on cash, but for every $5 we donate someone gets to eat, drink and get shirt on their back. There's a lot of kids over there too.

I went through the online Unicef donation and it is really easy. The only thing is that it's in pounds, so I didn't know exactly how it converted. So I looked up a currency translator: http://www.convertit.com/Go/ConvertIt/Curr...erter_Input.ASP

For currency translation 1 US dollar$ = 0.519939 £ British Pounds
which is the currency that Unicef asks for the amount in.

$5= 2.599696 £ Pounds

$10 = 5.199391 £ Pounds

$20 = 10.398782 £ Pounds

$30 = 15.598173 £ Pounds

.... and so on.

It's really the only way I can help so I hope it helps a little.

Thanks for posting this donation information. It is important to contribute to an outfit that will deliver as much of the benefit to the victims as possible.

I am somewhat out of touch currently, but from what I have seen this is a major disaster of extreme proportions over a large geographic area. There has been great loss of life and property. The earthquake that launched it was one of the strongest on record.

If a large scale disaster happened to us, as it has recently in Florida, helping out with donations is a very important thing that we can do. It won't put things back to rights alone but it will surely help in a time when so much has been lost.

So, take a minute and contribute. You will feel good that you did.

Death Toll is now over 60,000. This is an epic tragedy that has turned one kiteboarding heaven into "hell on earth" as one witness describes.

Supplies are inexpensive over there, so a little money goes a long way. Experts warned that disease could kill as many people as the 63,000 already dead from the violent crush of Sunday’s tsunamis. Medicine, Food, Water and Clothing is desperately needed to prevent further deaths from this tragedy.


If everyone could do just a little.. there's a lot of people in the world, and it adds up. If you can, please help. Even if it's only $1, it helps.
