I' am just a student, I just forwarded and e-mail including the account number. I
think all I can do here is send some money and send some information to people so that
they could help if they want to. I think there are some certain funds for the
eartquake through Red Cross but I don't know them. All the mails coming to me are
coming from Turkish sources. Below, here i am enclosing another forward mail, it might
me more help. PEople can make donation via web-site too.
Thanks to all of you for your time.
Please help.
