| The earthquake that struck Indonesia on December 26, 2004, caused tidal waves and destruction that wiped out cities and villages across Asia and Africa killing tens of thousands of people. This site was developed for the sole purpose to help people, particularly university students, interested in assisting and supporting aid relief efforts in Asia and Africa. We do not collect aid or coordinate support services, but attempt to link interested individuals to various websites on the internet to help them determine how best they can lend a hand to relief efforts. This site is a free website hosted on yahoo and is managed by international graduate students. We welcome feedback on how best to coordinate assistance to affected areas. |
