SRI LANKAN UPDATE
Last week, E-Sylum subscriber Kavan Ratnatunga of Sri Lanka
suggested that those of us wishing to help in the disaster
recovery efforts send donations to LAcNet, a US non-profit
organization which is coordinating its efforts via
LAcNet. When we published our issue
on Monday the web site noted about $3,300 had been collected;
as of Wednesday afternoon the total was over $20,000, and
as of December 31st the total was over $39,000. Many thanks
to those of you who were able to contribute. LAcNet relief
organizers have posted progress updates at
LAcNet relief updates
The group initiated several projects and has broken down
how the money is being spent.Kavan is well and writes: "Thanks very much for all your help,
publicity and contributions. I was away for two days in a
badly struck region in the east of lanka and just returned a
few hours ago."- 2005-01-02
