A friend of a friend just sent me this. Please read - THOUSANDS OF
LIVES CAN BE SAVED & MUCH SUFFERING ALLEVIATED.
Dear Friends,
I have just finished watching Ted Koppel's first NIGHTLINE broadcast from
Honduras. The situation there is beyond horrific. Tipper Gore called it
"a catastrophe of Biblical proportion." At last count over 11,000 people
have been confirmed dead. It is possible that the final death toll could
even double this number. Catastrophic winds and flooding have left over
one million people without homes. There is little food and almost no
water to drink. The president of Honduras described the region as a
"panorama of death, desolation, and ruin."
The sick and injured have overwhelmed the region's already struggling
hospitals. Hundreds of thousands have no electricity, no telephones, and
are completely cut off from the outside world. The regions cash crops
were almost entirely devastated. Government officials say it will be
decades before the region recovers from the storm.
WE ALL USE THE INTERNET - NOW LETS SHOW ITS TRUE POWER BY CREATING THE
LARGEST NETWORK OF GIVING IN HISTORY. PLEASE SHOW YOU CARE AND SEND $5
