Tsunami's Enemy

Sending out thoughts of survival, hope, healing, restoration and continued/increased international aid in the most useful and relevant forms, even after the hubub of the breaking news stories have died down - as they will and always do long before the impact of such a tragedy has diminished in kind at the more local levels.

This message is sent on behalf of the 23,700 dead so far, and counting: Sri Lanka (11,000), Indonesia (5,000-20,000), Thailand (866), India (7,000), Malaysia (52), Burma (34), Maldives (52), Bangladesh (2), Seychelles (3) and Somalia (100) as reported at the time of this posting (also this story). It is a message sent out to those who struggle to stay out of these statistics while facing the dangers of cholera, other such water-bourne diseases, and many other tragic aftermaths.
