For those in the Middle East...
contact the embassies. We have been asked here in Dubai to buy specific foodstuffs for Sri Lanka (such as sugar and rice) and it's being flown
out in flights that have been donated. Apparently it will actually be quicker to hit the ground than cash donations.

victims of the tsunami that hit several countries.
Contributions in cash could be made by cheque to Tabung Bencana Tsunami Asia Kementerian Luar Negeri and sent to the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Wisma

Thanks, Mike. We've already given to the cause, and our prayers, for what they are worth are with the many victims of this devastating tragedy. I
just heard a story on CNN of a woman (an American tourist) who was in the water and was forced to choose between her two children which to save. She
let go of her 5 year old son who was washed away. Amazingly, the boy was grabbed thereafter by another man who held him for hours neck-deep in water.
The family was reunited.
