Tsunami - Avenue for Donations

I've been really busy with work, familial obligations and some really bad issues and problems and I have a few post that I have yet to publish. However this thing requires immediate attention thus this post.

I've gathered some channels for us to Donate to those affected by the Tsunami recently. The list is sorted by mode of donation available Electronics, Cheque and Cash and Food, Clothes, Medicine and other items respectively.

I would like to record my thanks to my wonderful friends and car kakis who have contribute to this list. For those who have other info please feel free to leave the details in the comments section or email me.
