some WONDERFUL news on my end...... my fathers company is donating over $150,000!!!!!!
I am so happy, because their company works alot in Sri Lanka and Thailand.
We are still awaiting the news of 2 family friends in phuket... but all the people who are involved in the company and their immediate relatives are okay.
I am so glad my fathers company did this, it brought tears to my eyes

yeah, I was so happy...
I'm also happy to hear that the US finally stepped up and is getting involved. This is turning out to be one of the worst disasters in history....

It truly breaks my heart to hear this news, especially as I spent some time living and working in Thailand earlier this year. The Similan and Surin islands in the Andaman Sea are my favourite places on earth and from all reports they are completley devastated. It will be a very long time before all the hard-hit areas will recover. I really wish I was there now to help out in some small way. For now I'll be giving what I can to the Red Cross. It's great to see so many people doing what they can to help our neighbours overseas.

After I pay rent and buy some groceries for my family, I'll be able to donate. This is so tragic.

Wow that 150K is wonderful! Slowly the disaster unfolds. I don't recall who wrote this but the collapse of the infrastructure will be felt for years to come. The World Health Organisation stated that the number of deaths may double due to disease. On the news I saw temples, mosques and streets with 100s of dead people rowed up in them. Make no mistake people: this disaster is comparable in severity to a small scale nuclear exchange. The United Nations have called this "one of the greatest natural catastrophies in recorded history" and are organizing "the largest humanitarian mission EVER undertaken" On a positive note I have contacted www.giro555.nl (the Dutch united charities w/ all the big names, Red Cross, Unicef etd) and have made good on my promise and have donated 50 Euro = $68 to their Tsunami fund. I could do this by online bank transfer with no fuss at all. People, please look for international funds that allow online donations and post the links here so I can C&P them into the sitewide Shroomery Tsunami Action page. We likely are going to erect a charity fund of our own but it is of vital importance that you donate NOW if you can because the disaster and cost will increase with every day. The Shroomery Community has already commited itself to donate over $1.000 It's so great to be a Shroomerite
