The eathquake/tsunami aftermath in South-central Asia and parts of Africa have left over 75,000 dead and countless others missing. It is hard for many of us to grasp the scope of this catastrophe - whether it be the grief from losing a loved one to the resources required by aid agencies to help deal with the aftermath.
Below are some organizations where you can donate - even if you can only afford a little, it all adds up in the end.
Red Cross - USA / CAN / UK / FRA / GER / NL / NOR / SWE / AUS / Other Country
Oxfam - UK
Unicef (select your country from bottom left)
Worldvision
Anonymous donations (via Amazon.com to Red Cross)

| by teatime yesterday there had been £5 million raised from people here. It's a shame that all the people involved in wars of religion can't see how just being human is enough to pull everyone together regardless of race/faith. |
