		<description>I thank you for your kind hearted good will and I mustt say that that I am for donating  money to the Tsunami victims. However, it is worth noting that the Los Angeles Times recently had a long article on this and said:

&lt;i&gt;"In the first nine months after the Indian Ocean tsunami, a group of private charities including the American Red Cross and Mercy Corps spent less than half of the $1.8 billion they received from American donors, a new report has foundâ?¦ One of the largest recipients, the American Red Cross, took in $567 million and had one of the lower spending rates, using $167 million, or about 29%."&lt;/i&gt;

Perhaps we should asking the Red Cross and Mercy Corps what they want to do with that money. The money was donating to the TSUNAMI VICTIMS and should NOT be used for any other disaster. 

More on this, follow this link: &lt;strong&gt;http://ainashe.net/?p=263&lt;/strong&gt;

With best regards,
