Asian Tsunami Relief Fund
If you would like to donate directly to a relief fund set up for the victims of the horrific tsunamis in Asia, where over 20,000 75,000 have now died, here are two:
Oxfam's Asian Earthquake Fund. Donations denominated in U.S. dollars.
Australian Red Cross. Donations denominated in Australian dollars. As of this morning, 1 U.S. dollar = 1.295 Australian dollars. [The American Red Cross has not yet set up a specific appeal for the Asian tsunamis, although you can donate to their International Response Fund.]
Australian Red Cross appeal found via Kathy Kinsley.
UPDATE: Since somehow I seem to have wound up as the first site in various web searches for "tsunami relief fund", I am also going to direct people to this entry at The Command Post which has many marvelous links to ways to help the survivors. It is being updated extensively. There is also the Tsunami Help blog. And this post is being bumped up.

Thanks. I added Oxfam to mine!

1. There is no e-mail address to send the money to. You click on the link and follow the instructions.
2. I'm not sending you an e-mail to tell you there's no e-mail.
3. The Flash on the URL embedded in your name is way outdated. Newsflash - Saddam was caught.
