Asian Earthquake and Tsunami

[Karthik]

As many of you may have heard, there was massive earthquake of the coast of Indonesia which spawned a Tsunami. Over 20,000 people are dead and over 250,000 are homeless in 10 countries.

CNN report on the quake

I have many family members who live in Madras, India, one of the worst hit cities. Luckily they are all safe, but the same cannot be said for many of their friends.

For those who are interested in helping, here's a list of international aid organizations who are taking donations to help with the rescue and relief operation.

As always, the American Red Cross is always looking for donations as well.
