Tsunami Toll

No I still don't understand. The death toll now exceeds 23,000, with more unaccounted for.

One of my friend's father and sister were among the 12,000 dead in Sri Lanka. 9 of his relatives are still missing.

Others are mourning grand-children, children, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, fathers and mothers.

The church is raising funds for this disaster. I think it is important to do so. If we cannot bring their loved ones back to life, the least we can do is provide food, water, shelter, and a dry blanket.
