Never has a tragedy hit home so personally as the earthquake and tsunami of this week. The home my family and I left 19 years ago, Sri Lanka, has been singled out as having been significantly affected. To all those that have asked and expressed concern regarding the condition of my family members still residing in Sri Lanka, I’d like to inform you that they are safe and have, by God’s mercy, survived the devastation.
But, as you all know, there are tens of thousands that were not as fortunate. Our prayers and condolences go out to all the victims of this tragedy. If you�d like to help out in someway, please follow the links below. Sri Lanka, as well as most of the countries there in southern Asia are desperately poor, even before the Tsunami, and any bit of support–I am sure–will go a long way.

It is so good to hear your family is alright. I was able to spare some cash and sent a donation to the Red Cross International Response Fund. I emailed all my friends and family to do the same. You can make a donation right online:

I am very happy to hear your family is ok. In fact I just called you and left a message to check about that (there was no TV in Key West). I will definetly make a donation after I type this paragraph.
