Disaster relief is
urgently needed in the form of Food, Clothing, Shelter and Medicine.
Because of the presence of stagnant water, it is feared that diseases
could spread easily. We are making this appeal to contribute generously to
a multitude of relief funds in the hope that help and assistance doesn't
get bogged down in a handful of mega-relief organizations. Monetary
contributions can be remitted immediately and directly to Government and
NGO Relief Centers all over in Sri Lanka, as well all other affected
regions of the Indian Ocean. The items you order
here will be directly delivered to Red Cross head office in Colombo:
