Death Toll is now over 60,000. This is an epic tragedy that has turned one kiteboarding heaven into "hell on earth" as one witness describes.

Supplies are inexpensive over there, so a little money goes a long way. Experts warned that disease could kill as many people as the 63,000 already dead from the violent crush of Sunday’s tsunamis. Medicine, Food, Water and Clothing is desperately needed to prevent further deaths from this tragedy.


If everyone could do just a little.. there's a lot of people in the world, and it adds up. If you can, please help. Even if it's only $1, it helps.

My friend, Roberto has sent me a few recommendations for the most efficient charities from people involved in the relief effort

My friend and teaching associate in FLorida, Jeff Weiss of www.kitemare.com) has earmarked 10% of his revenues for the Red Cross. Check out his page. If we all give a little it will help so much.


Roberto's young friend Dexter Gauntlett who works for Relief International and is currently working in Tajikistan has offered some recommendations for charties that are the most efficient at delivering aid areas needed. and have a look at his recommendations
.

From Dexter, Relief International:
Quote:
>Hey Roberto,

>Thanks for all the very thoughtful writing and personal experiences.
>Undoubtedly your personal response and conncection to this tragedy has
>actually had a very positive effect in encouraging other people to donate.

>I would personally recommend are the International Red Cross/Red Crescent.
