Long-term care for tsunami survivors

A number of countries, agencies, companies and individuals are providing unprecedented humanitarian relief for the tsunami/earthquake-stricken countries in Asia. As you consider how you might help, don’t overlook long-term care. Groups like Heifer International provide such care.  Here's how they decribe themselves.

Heifer International does so much more than put food in the mouths of hungry people. Heifer helps people feed themselves.

The goal of every Heifer project is sustainability – project partners achieving self-reliance.

And year after year, as partner families "pass on the gift" of knowledge and one or more of their animals’ offspring to others in need, they become links in a network of hope, dignity and self-reliance that helps hundreds of others care for themselves (more....)

Consider opening your heart & checkbook to help.
