If some of you might be wondering about disaster relief, I thought I'd pass this along. For anyone wanting to contribute to the disaster relief of the tsunami victims, they can go to amazon.com and make a donation.
According to the website http://www.amazon.com 100% of the donations go directly to the Red Cross. This might be easier for those who have been wanting to contribute and already have an amazon account.

I'm sure all of you will agree that our heartfelt grief and condolences go out to all the families around the world who have been affected by this tragedy.
 
Another great organization to send aid to is Mercy Corps www.mercycorps.org. Their organization gives 91% of its funds to the actual relief, unlike many organizations where the bureaucracy eats up a lot of the money. I donated today.

My thoughts also go to all those affected.
 
You can also try this site. Donates directly to International Red Cross and Crescent.

Please help if you can. Every cent counts.
 
Every cent of your donations will help millions people suffering after the tsunami in addtion to (probably more) 100,000 people lost their life in this region. There small city in West coast of Sumatra, named Meulaboh where 90% of 40,000 population dissapeared.
You can donate to any reputable organization you trust - direct or indirect, local or international does not matter, I believe will reach them.
