Tsunami Fund Update

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) announced at the start of the month that it has surpassed its goal of $2.5 million for earthquake and tsunami relief. PDA says that the additional funding will allow it to plan for a five-year recovery and rehabilitation period in the affected region.

The Presbyterian Church also has placed two photo albums online: Album One and Album Two.

A complete index of PC (USA) stories on the earthquake and tsunami relief efforts is available at Earthquake and Tsunami in South and Southeast Asia.

UPDATE: Union Presbyterian Church sent $1,130 to Tsunami Relief efforts through the Presbyterian Church. Members also reported an additional $1,590 being sent directly to the PCUSA or to other relief groups. This means that as a congregation we sent at least $2,720 to help relief efforts in Southeast Asia.--Mr. Hunter
