Great work! Many thanks.
Additionally, for anyone wishing to donate DIRECTLY to those who need it. This hospital is in the worst hit area of Thailand. My best friend is doing relief work there and the situation is very very bad.

Those organisations are all good at collecting money, but do any of them actually help anyone? Give to the Salvation Army.
