I'm sure many FReepers would like to make contributions to aid tsunami victims. On the other hand, many of us are surely hesitant to send money to UN organizations.
What charitable organizations do people recommend? If links to donation web sites can be provided, that would be excellent.

The Salvation Army is always reliable.

Excellent suggestion! I love the Salvation Army and my family has volunteered for generations.

Salvation Army.
Go to the US Salvation Army site,
they have an Indian Ocean fund.

I'm concerned about the Red Cross too. They've turned into harsh critics of the US in Iraq and Gitmo.

If you have an account at http://www.amazon.com giving a donation to the American Red Cross (earmarked for tsunami relief) is a click away. As easy as buying a book.

indeed, the Salvation Army is generally the best. But are they plugged into this tsunami effort?
To: governsleastgovernsbest
I hear good things about 'Doctors without Borders" even if they are based out of France. Apparently they're only mildly anti-American, unlike most international aid agencies.

Almost anything is better than donating to the U.N.
