TSUNAMI VICTIMS RELIEF & RECOVERY
The following organizations and programs are among those accepting donations in support of the tsunami victims. Some are tourism-related and others are more general NGOs with a track record in south Asia. (Rest assured, these are all bona fide organizations!) With the logistical challenges of delivering goods to the affected regions, cash is the best and most flexible form of contribution you can make at this time.
