I'm sure this story has been posted on FR, but I just read it and thought it was incredible.

Another great story is that President Bush naming his father, brother and even bill clinton to head up relief efforts and the reports that US military ships are being welcomed. This is indeed a great President!!!!

Now I am ready to give, but not to the UN or Red Cross!!! Any Ideas, I thought perhaps to the Salvation Army......

In this photo provided by Grace Home Orphanage, Eric Parkinson, a lawyer from San Luis Obispo, Calif., and a founder of the Grace Home orphanage on the northeastern coast of Sri Lanka, is seen here July 30, 2004, with residents of the orphanage near Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. Living in the bungalows on the 7-acre, beach side complex, which was formerly a five-star hotel, may have saved them from the tsunami that thrashed much of southern Asia. The orphanage was swamped - beds, mattresses and clothes were washed out to sea. But the children there escaped when they were evacuated.
