Australia has just donated 1 Billion dollars to aid Indonesia. I was wondering what the Government would do with its 2+ Billion dollar suplus, and I think this is a very noble way to spend it.

They're donating half a billion billion in money, supplies and manpower and the other half is interest free loans which, whilst still being good, is not quite as noble as it sounded originally.

I donated money myself the other day. Everyone else should go and do it too.

Wow! I agree! :) Those countries need a lot of aid and that will just about do it! ;)

I found these satellite images of the tsunami disaster. :S That's a lot of damage. . .

This one's probably the most shocking, though (scroll down):

I would say more about this, except I'm in college and got a ton of work to do, so I'd better get back to it.

A Man survived on a log and eating floating coconuts. Michael schumacher donated £5.2 million to the Asian Tsunami Apeal, Today my school is having a non-uniform day, and all the money will go towards the Tsunami.

What's a non-uniform day? As in, how do you raise money during one?

A non-uniform day, is where you go to school wearing something that isnt your school uniform. You can raise money by taking in £1 when you go into school. Well thats what we do in our school

Languor 01-07-2005 12:33 PM

Ohhhhhh ok. So you pay a pound and for the day you don't have to wear your uniform? Or something like that...?

Coolmanbizkit 01-07-2005 12:39 PM

Yup, thats about all we do for a non-uniform day :)

My old high school would probably never do anything like that! Although we didn't have to wear uniforms at my old school, the school board is too cheap and stingy to do anything for people that need money most! Thank goodness I'm not at that school anymore!!
