One good thing that has come out of the recent tsunami in SE Asia is the flood of efforts to try and assist our disaster-stricken brothers and sisters out there : from employee cash donations matched by big corporations, to secondhand clothing, to benefit concerts, we are seeing a tremendous drive by individuals and groups who may have no direct link to those folk out there many thousands of miles away, to try and improve their situation....makes me proud of the human race, again.
I urge everyone out there to try and get involved and make a difference, but also to make that a habit - make a difference EVERY DAY ! Raise awareness with your conversations, make a contribution with what you have materially available, do what you can !
I am so proud of my two nephews in Winnipeg, Canada: Leith and Jared are involved in seperate gigs this weekend that will benefit the tsunami relief efforts...
Check out their websites at :

These guys are awesome young men, who are going to continue to be awesome...check them out !
