Re: [meteorite-list] How to help Tsunami Victims

Hello Pierre and Bernhard. Actually most of the reputable aid organizations allow you to make donations to the Tsunami releif effort directly online using you credit card. This would be a much more effective way to help as there would not be any deduction in paypal fees and you can choose your favorite organization.

For a list of organizations giving aid to the Tsunami victims click on the link below:

It is a good idea to check out how much of your donation will actually be used to help victims. For example, 'Save the Children.org' uses 90% of donations to help victims. Some organizations use ~ 85% and some probably less. Now is a great time to help out the vicitms of this devastating natural disaster.


Happy New Years all!

Hello Bernhard,

In fact, I didn't think of it when I wrote my email.
Usually, Paypal takes a fee on every payment received.
(that's how they earn money... mainly)

So, I've written to Paypal to ask for them if they
accept to not collecting this fee for each payment
sent. I hope to have a positive answer as soon as
possible.

Community for helpingAsia

Hello to the List.

New Year is ordinary a time of enjoyment but this
year
was an awful tsunami in Asia.

Because I think we can get much money from the
Meteorite Community, I'm opening a financial support
on my Paypal account.

You can send money on my Paypal account
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in euros or dollars and in 15
days I'll give this money to the french association
Medecins sans frontiere (a big independant medical
aid
agency) for helping asian countries.

I ask you to write in Paypal "HELP FOR ASIA" as
statement. Regularly, I'll tell you total amount
collected on this account.

DATE LIMIT : 15 JANUARY 2005
PAYPAL ACCOUNT : [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thank you in advance for your help. That's the way
I've found for collecting a large amount of money
because together we can make surely more that
individually.
