World Vision Update

World Vision recently sent me some videos of how they are helping the Tsunami relief effort.

World Vision is currently committed in helping the Asian countries get back on their feet over the course of 3 years. Here’s an excerpt from their latest email of where donations are being spent:

* Provided nearly 400,000 people with life-saving aid such as Family Survival Kits, which include things like food, water, medicine, sleeping mats, and clothing.
* Established children’s centers to care for and protect children who are orphaned, homeless, or traumatized in Indonesia.
* Provided food and other emergency aid to tens of thousands of families in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Indonesia.
* Begun building schools, shelters, water tanks, and latrines in Thailand.
* And much more!

Our staff have been working around the clock to save lives during these first few weeks following the disaster. But our work is far from finished. A tragedy of this magnitude requires years of rebuilding and restoration.

That’s why World Vision has made a three-year commitment that includes rebuilding homes, schools, and clinics, protecting children, providing small business loans, and much more.
