[meteorite-list] How to help Tsunami Victims

[John Birdsell]

Hello Pierre and Bernhard. Actually most of the reputable aid 
organizations allow you to make donations to the Tsunami releif effort 
directly online using you credit card.  This would be a much more 
effective way to help as there would not be any deduction in paypal fees 
and you can choose your favorite organization.

For a list of organizations giving aid to the Tsunami victims click on 
the link below:

It is a good idea to check out how much of your donation will actually 
be used to help victims. For example, 'Save the Children.org' uses 90% 
of donations to help victims.  Some organizations use ~ 85% and some 
probably less.  Now is a great time to help out the vicitms of this 
devastating natural disaster.


Happy New Years all!
