Mission Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Don't be fooled by such things kitty. Whilst there are a lot of honest people out there, I guarantee you there are ten times more that will try to profit from things like this. Wherever possible, try to give to registered charities or orgainsations only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_kitty Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I gave money at the post office, i trust that will go straight to the appeal and to all the people who are trying to profit from the disaster that is just a wicked and terrible thing to do, they should be ashamed of themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Don't get me wrong kitty, I'm sure a lot of what is on ebay will be genuine but you can never be sure with anything like that. If you've donated to the Post Office, you've done the right thing already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Earth Observatory Pictures: Link: Quickbird satellite captured an image of the devestation around Kalutara, Sri Lanka on December 26, 2004, at 10:20 a.m. local time—about an hour after the first in the series of waves hit.

zephyr Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I have been to Sri Lanka and travelled widely. If you take the population of the IOM and double it then you may have an inckling of the loss of life. I have given but it seems inconsequential.

Hugs Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 They have raised over £1m since 26/12/04 and as they have such direct contacts in the disaster areas they can send immediate aid where it is needed. 04/01/05 31/12/04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minxie Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Does anybody know if any of the charities are collecting clothes for the Tsunami victims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posters Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Does anybody know if any of the charities are collecting clothes for the Tsunami victims? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Most of them seem to prefer money. I think very few charities are actually sending clothes out there. They might be selling them locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
