FRI. FEBRUARY 11, 2005 TSUNAMI RELIEF BENEFIT SHOW AT

SADDLEBACK COLLEGE!

It has been a little over one month since countries in

South East Asia were ravaged by a Tsunami. People are

still reeling from the massive toll on humanity and

the destruction that will take many years and billions

of dollars to repair. As students we believe that it’s

our responsibility to do all that we can to help aid

the rebuilding efforts. We have put together a huge

benefit show to raise funds to donate to the IFRCS

(International Federation of Red Cross and Red

Crescent Societies)

We must love and support one another during this time.

We must set aside nationality and ethnicity so that we

can simply see one another as human beings. We want to

do all that we can to help raise awareness along with

funds, to aid those in need.

On 26 December 2004, an earthquake measuring 9.0 on

the Richter scale struck the area off the western

coast of northern Sumatra, triggering massive tidal

waves, or tsunamis, that inundated coastal areas in

countries all around the Indian Ocean rim – from

Indonesia to Somalia. At least 185,000 people have

died in the disaster, with over 525,000 injured,

1,600,000 displaced and over 1,300,000 homeless. The

catastrophe now ranks as the third-worst natural

disaster in the past 100 years. It is the deadliest

tsunami ever.

It will take another four weeks to recover all the

bodies, Yet the biggest problem facing disaster zones

is not the dead, but the living. Tens of thousands of

survivors remain stranded in Aceh as a massive

multinational aid effort battles to get food, medicine

and shelter to cut-off communities. Temporary camps in

the province teem with hundreds of thousands of

displaced people who have no homes, jobs or family to

return to.

In Sri Lanka -- the second worst-hit country with

about 31,000 killed --more than 400,000 people are

still being sheltered in public buildings, temples and

churches along the island's coast, with plans to move

them into tent villages. Weary and traumatized, they

bear psychological as well as physical scars. Warnings

from the UN and World Health Organization that disease

outbreaks could double the disaster toll have so far

proved unfounded.
