first of all i like to thank erin for creating a new thread to urge the members in ure countries to help towards this cause.As a person living in the country most affected by this great tragedy i must tell u all it is really an unbearable loss interms of life and the property(in most cases the only property they had(ppl live in the coastal areas are the poorest section of the society) we in our capacity did all we can by collecting items such as food and several other pharmaceutical items and cloths. we had to travel far south and it was indeed difficult to reach those ppl(cos roads are not properly cleard yet) . This perhaps is the most tragic one in the world. i myself witnessed the sorrow and the pain they went through. some unlucky tourists were seen among the dead ppl. most of the houses in the country are hoisting white flags as a mark of respect to the dead ppl. almost all the activities in the country have come to a standstill. must tell u will take some considerable time to get over this unfortucate incident. i belive time has come for the ppl who test those deadly nuclear tests and other various missiles with the mere expectation of raising their image to think otherwise to think of human beings the value of life value of our short lifves

Erin once again thank u for ure kind gesture
