Life is tough with no shoes until you see the man with no feet

thanks

Donated what i could $10 hope that helps....really do feel for those people

[Madaz]

Thanks Krishy

Its not about how much we give all of us have different levels of earnings and expenditure's

Very true Steve

A person with $12 that gives $10 has given more than a person who had much more and gave $20.

Give from the heart and amount doesn't matter.

Well said.

My very good friend Tom knows some people over there who run a temple.

he knows that they are mostly fine but not sure about the temple or houses as direct contact has not been made yet.

he is looking into what needs to be done legally to take donations and send it directly to them as they will now be in a position of looking after a lot of people with probably very little.

if there is any interest i can let people know how it works out.

the way i see it is that it is a way to get money directly to people who need and will be able to use it to better there community.

cheers

Vince.

Great idea Vince but unfortunately there are certain groups (as reported in the news last night) that take advantage of disasters world wide and set up fake charities as a measure of a "get rich quick" scheme.

Not saying your buddy would do any such thing but people should be wary of the aforementioned groups and be not only vigilant but good stewards of their finances.

I know the bigger Christian organizations like "Compassion" do in fact attempt to give a high percentage of monies collected with minimal running costs.......but nevertheless, if you do have family or friends over there, giving direct will naturally have a somewhat greater impact.

Condolences to those that have family or friends over there.
