Donate to the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami Relief!

I donated $20 to the Canadian Red Cross today, for the Tsunami relief. The latest figure I have heard is over 70,000 confirmed deaths, with the toll expected to rise to 100,00 from just direct effects once every area affected has been reached. That will probably at least double in the coming days due to the lack of fresh water and spread of disease such as cholera, tyhpoid, and other organisms.

Other ideas are to check OXFAM, UN, or any other relief agencies.
