Asian Tsunami 2004

We are deeply saddened by the Earth Quake and the Tsunami in Asia! The death toll appears to have exceeded 150,000 people in 12 countries from Malaysia to Somalia. What a horror to so many thousands of people that did not have a clue of what is going to happen just a few days ago!

We are all moved by this tragedy, which might be one of the biggest ever tragedies in the recent past in the world! Let us show that we care and that our hearts go out to those that have lost their loved ones! Imagine the thousands of people that have lost their bread winner or other family members, thousands that lost everything that they had! If it happens to one of our own, how do we feel about it!

As a responsible communty at WikiMD, and as an expression of our solidarity with the earthquake and tsunami victims, let us all come together to help. For those of you that are working, let us donate a day's salary for the victims of the Tsunami and help console some souls! For those that are not working, please donate a minimum of $10.00 depening on your finances.

How should we do it?

You will contibute directly to the people who are directly involved in helping. Some of the places to donate would the RedCross, the Prime Minister Releif Fund in India, and we would gather information on how to contribute to any of the affected countries and post them here!

I would personally contribute one day of my salary to this cause and urge of you to do the same. We will publish a list of users who contribute to this cause on this website. If you cast your bread on the waters with good hope, it will one day return to you with butter on top of it! Let us do something that will give hope to those that have lost everything!

Oh, God, help the people that are affected, comfort them and provide for them! May God bless the victims and their families! Post your solidarity with the victims and your pledge here! Also post all the reliable places we could use to contribute for this cause!
