You can help the people of Indonesia, where the devastation from the Earthquake/Tsunamis on December 26 has been underreported.  Latest reports show Indonesia to be hardest hit with current estimates (as of 12/30/04) of 80,000 dead and over 100,000 homes destroyed. The death toll continues to rise.

We all feel the need to do something to alleviate the suffering among the several countries that have been struck by the devastation.  There are a number of solid organizations at work to which you might contribute.  One of them is Uplift International's relief effort.   You can donate online at www.upliftinternational.org or you can send a check to Uplift International, PO Box 15710, Seattle, WA 98115. 

Attached is a summary of the Uplift International emergency response to the earthquake/Tsunami in Indonesia.
