There is also Catholic Relief Services.  They have low overhead and very
low administrative costs, so a high percentage of the money goes to the
people it's supposed to help.

"CRS commits $25 million.

"CRS has committed $25 million in private emergency funding for immediate
and long-term efforts to help save lives and assist communities in
rebuilding after this terrible disaster.

"CRS teams are working on the ground to bring relief to millions struggling
to survive in wake of catastrophic tsunami. CNN now reports more than
135,000 dead.

"The race is on to bring food, clean water, shelter and basic sanitation to
survivors in Asia and Africa. Inaccessible areas, lack of transportation
and electricity hinder efforts."
