The Tsunami

I find it hard to post about disasters like this, claiming more than 60,000, perhaps even 100,000,, more than half of them children. I find my words too small and poor for the magnitude of the tragedy.

Michele at a Small Victory tries to wrap her mind around the dimensions of the catastrophe.

She also posts an exhaustive list of agencies which are trying to provide relief to the survivors, and to which you can donate.

And there's always Amazon's on-line relief fund, which has just passed $2 million in American stinginess.

I just donated myself, using some of that crazy blog-money you've been nice enough to send to me. Not a lot, but together it all ads up.
