This subject comes up and up again in the media..and i agree with you 100%...what about all these other people that need help also...but the good thing about the tsunami aid thats been giving out...is that now...there has also been an outpouring to help african and asian poverty. i watched on the news one day..saying that the red cross could not accept any more money or something for the tsunami fund..but that africa could still be donated to...people agreed...they just wantedthe money to go to somewhere good...to other people who need the money more than us I too agree with your comments,however we also should'nt forget what is going on in our own backyard,not long after the tragedy of boxing day,the state of South Australia was devestated by bushfires and several people lost their lives in one of the cruelest ways,it is admirable that so many gave so generously to the appeal,but what of the lives of these poor farmers and their families that are left to pick up the peices,because it is not just the loss of human life,but also that of their stock,their livihoods have also been wiped out.

In Australia we all accept bushfire as part of life,but a few donations thrown their way, to help rebuild their lives will make as much a difference as those who received it in Asia,after all charity begins at home.
