Linda, You're probably right. I've also found a Buddhist Temple locally (I'm in the UK) that is boxing up clothes and sending them across, so I'm clearing my wardrobe of stuff that I'm not wearing anymore and giving it to them.

Hi, No ideas, just give money. It is easy, if you want to use a credit card on the Internet. I have a credit card that I only use on the Internet. You can even give money in honor or in memorial of someone. The T-shirt idea is just not happening soon enough. http://www.usaid.gov/locations/asia_near_east/tsunami/ngolist.html has a list of lots of groups helping. I picked the American Red Cross International Response Fund. Bye. Linda G.
