Disaster Relief

Hi all,

I'm sure we're all following the news of the massive destruction caused by tsunamis in East Africa and South Asia. I wanted to let everyone know of several easy ways in which to help with the relief effort. Amazon.com has set up a site through which people can donate money directly to the American Red Cross response to this disaster. A similar site is up at the Red Cross homepage. You can also donate money to Lutheran World Relief (select 'South Asian Tsunami' to direct your contribution towards this situation specifically). Also, CNN has a put up a list of organizations that are currently accepting donations.

Please consider donating. Monetary donations are preferable to clothes, medicine, etc, which cost more money than they are worth to transport.

Thanks!
