Asian tsunami

please help - every penny counts

By Neil Greenway | Published:

We hope you've enjoyed the Christmas holidays, and are looking forwards to the new year celebrations.

Sadly, for millions in Asia, the last few days haven't been as pleasant. Many thousands have lost their lives, while those who've survived have lost everything.

There is urgent need of food, water and shelter. The Disasters Emergency Committee (which includes agencies such as Oxfam, Save the Children, and the British Red Cross) is asking for donations, to provide this urgently needed aid.

To us in the UK, £50 is a day out. To those affected by this disaster, it will be a future - £50 is enough to buy the materials to build a basic home.

Please give what you can. You can donate online here, or by telephoning 0870 60 60 900.
