The Biggest Relief Operation Ever
December 29, 2004
The earthquake and tsunami that have affected so many people in Asia is a tragedy of a scale we have never experienced before on this earth.
I am unable to write anything that even begins to capture the pity that must be felt the world over for the thousands of families that are still fighting for survival. Dealing with the loss of so many family members and the material things will come later. For now, it's a case of avoiding disease and keeping food and clean water in tummies.
If you haven't given anything yet - STOP - think about your Christmas. And your plans for new year. Now get your credit card out and be generous. I recommend donating to an Aussie charity. They're the nearest in geographical terms so your aid will get there quickly. Medecins sans Frontieres is always one of the first in to trouble spots around the world. And Unicef already has operations set up in all of the affected countries.

Now - whatever you were planning on giving - DOUBLE IT. You know you can afford it.
Thank you.
