Everyone by now has probably heard of the earthquake and tsunami in South Asia on December 26. More than 158,000 are dead, and more are expected to succumb to disease. The need for funds for food, clothing, and shelter for the refugees is huge. Whole villages have been wiped out. So in light of this need, I've provided some links for reputable sites that are accepting donations that will go directly to helping the victims. Please consider helping; these people are in desperate need. Thank you. ^_^<BR><BR>
