Helping Survivors of the December 26 Asian Earthquake and Tsunamis

The death toll from the tsunamis in South and Southeast Asia has been reported to be more than 140,000. Those places affected include Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Maldives, Myanmar, the Seychelles, Bangladesh, and even Somalia (which is in Africa), according to news reports. Click here to see a map of the affected area.

Below is a list of some organizations that are accepting financial donations to aid survivors of the December 26 earthquake and tsunamis in South and Southeast Asia. It's a U.S.-centric list because I live in the United States, but I'll add relief agencies from other nations if you e-mail me with the info.
