Tsunami Impact on Andamans



Somewhat off topic, but today I posted an article from my father about the Andaman Islands, where his brother ran a mission agency -- before the islands were effectively destroyed by the tsunami. Early reports indicate that that region may well have suffered the greatest per capita damage, with perhaps half their population being killed, which would account for roughly 10% of the worldwide death toll.

If you would like to contribute to my uncle's resettlement efforts, checks can be made to Shiloh Evangelistic Mission and sent to Rev. Vasanth Edward, 7 Ali Khan Rd. Alandur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India 60017. Or, if tax deduction is needed, make your check out to Faith Lutheran Church and send it to Dr. John Prabhakar, 212 Drake, Rochelle. IL 61068. Thank you.
