tsunami relief

one of my dearest friends in the whole world is presently in sri lanka, doing relief work with tsunami victims. it's amazing what wanna's doing and i'm so proud of her and her efforts. she's there with 2 other american women who are working under the International Organization of Migration. their main goal right now is to bring a livelihood back to the people that have lost everything. i realized i just wrote a couple posts back about supporting my volunteer groups for kids in new york city, but this cause is so so so big and any help you could provide to their group in sri lanka would mean the world to them (wanna said any amount will help--from $4 for a daily translator to $40 for a ride to the nearest town to bring back supplies).

i'm currently helping them with their blog about what they're doing for the people there. it's the best i can do from here, besides asking everyone i know to help contribute to the cause. if you're interested, please read their blog suba ud and see what kind of work they are doing. there is also all the information needed to contribute funds directly to their account set up in sri lanka. in the days to come, i am going to try and get local companies to donate art supplies and sports equipment to be sent over there. if anyone has any leads or ideas of where to go or who to ask, i'd appreciate it. thanks!
