Ok,
No_Outcome_But_Victory brought up a good point on an earlier thread. Lets set up a list of some charity organizations that are sending relief to the victums of the Christmas earthquake.

I have a few here. Of course the Red Cross

www.redcross.org

This is the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod page for emergency relief. I think that they are updating as more gets organized.

http://www.lcms.org/pages/internal.asp?NavID=1872

I know that there are many others.

Salvation mentioned a Father Emerito that does mission activities in the area, but I don't have a good link for him

If anyone knows of a place to donate money, food, or any other supplies, please post on the thread.

International Aid is a very reputable faith based relief organization in West Michigan. I know several people that volunteer there...nearly all employees work on a voluntary basis so most of your donations go right to relief.

I recommend Lutheran World Relief; I have been told that over 95% of their donations go to disaster aid in the normal circumstance, and for a really horrible disaster, like 9-11, they generally waive any administrative costs and put it all to use as aid.

ROME, Dec 28 (Reuters) - The Vatican, appealing for urgent assistance from world Catholics, said on Tuesday it had raised $6 million so far in emergency aid following Asia's tsunami disaster that killed more than 50,000 people.

Members of church groups like Caritas and Jesuit Refugee Services were also being dispatched to affected countries to reinforce relief efforts, according to Cor Unum, the Vatican organisation that coordinates charity funds.

They must be having a glitch. I am a sustaining donor, so haven't used their web page for awhile...

"Please don't send any money to Sri Lanka. The bigots can help themselves."

They don't need it anyway. There must be a dozen people each trying to get $5,000,000 out of Sri Lanka and they all need my help.

I heard on FoxNews Channel that Catholic Charities had sent in both money and people.

There are many Christians on Sri Lanka -- don't bash them. It was probably the Muslims who refused the aid from Israel anyway.

One of the priests we had at my parish was from Sri Lanka and I want to call him, because his mother still lives there.

So knock it off.

I would probably give my money to World Vision at this time -- they help the children!
