Banda Aceh from Space

<%imagelink%>

The death toll has risen to 125,000 people from the Asian Tsunami, and now 5 million people are without food, water, and basic sanitation. The picture above is of Banda Aceh, a city in Northern Sumatra that was close to the epicentre of the earthquake/tsunami and was completely washed away - 10,000 people died here alone. Please please please, take a moment of your time and visit the aid agency of your choice, and donate what money you can to save lives, and help these people get back on their feet. Your government may even match your donation, and make your dollars go further. Click here's to visit Google's list of aid agencies, and donate with your credit card - I did.

Thank you,
