To Help Tsunami Survivors...

One of the best resource lists I've seen to help Tsunami survivors is on Microsoft's site. Go here for a list of charities you can contribute to. My husband and I were fortunate enough to visit Myanmar (Burma's) beautiful Ngapali beach (on the Bay of Bengal) last April. I have no information about how that region fared. Has anyone heard? Please email me at wordbiz @ gmail dot com [close up spaces] if you know. Thanks - d.
