12-29-2004 05:16 PM -  U2 Fans: Help Victims of the Indonesian Earthquake
At Interference, we are fortunate to welcome U2 fans from across the world into our community. We are also fortunate to have generous, thoughtful members who want to contribute whatever they can to alleviating the many tragedies facing our world.
As most of you probably know, a massive underwater earthquake struck the Indian Ocean near Indonesia, leaving tens of thousands dead and many, many more injured, homeless, orphaned, and alone. The scale of this event has moved many from Interference.com to request a way to join together and help our sisters and brothers in the region as they recover, in the spirit of peace and cooperation that U2 represents.
This is a partial list of major organizations providing relief services to the area. We hope you find this list helpful if you would like to contribute to the efforts.
We especially wish to thank nbcrusader, Beli, and neutral for providing information on some of these organizations, including contact and donation info.
