Feliz Carnival! Happy Chinese New Years! Gong Hay Fak Choi! It's
Chinese New Year already so let's start out the year with something
good.
Many have heard about the disaster caused by the tsunami. It's not to
late to help because money is needed not during the tsunami, but
crucially after the tsunami. More than 178,100 people are dead, but
they are not allowed to be buried until their family recognize it. If
the bodies remains any longer, other sickness might arise causing
deaths to the survivors. The only thing left to do is to take the DNA
of thousand of bodies before burying them. This process takes time
and money. A large amount are still missing though. Some might be
alive! There's a picture of some babies born after the disaster, but
where would they get food, medications, and shelter from? While we
are all in our room playing computer games, let's think about how we
can help these homeless friends of ours. This is the time to do
something good. Just donate a dollar each and more can be
accomplished. Stop thinking what if the money get stolen by the
governement or what if your money won't help the people of the
tsunami. Just donate. Whether your donation gets stolen by some
selfish people, you tried to help at least. It better to donate than
to give excuses to not to do it. People are suffering from
"starvation, lack of water, cholera, homelessness, burial and
cremation efforts etc. Also, there is the need for massive infusion of
humanitarian assistance, along with other material aid like aircraft
support to ferry equipment to the affected areas to help in search and
rescue efforts, as still thousands of people are reported missing and
could be possibly alive, fighting for survival."
A mother during the tsunami was washed into the ocean with her two
sons. She held both of them while trying to swim back to the land,
but the waves were too strong. She knew she had to let go one of them
so she thought it's best to let go his oldest child.
Pictures were taken from the following website and there are a lot
