I don't think any words from me or anyone else at Sports Interactive can describe the feelings at the moment over the natural disaster that has happened in the Indian Ocean and it's surrounding countries in the last few days. I wish that we could say that it was getting better, but it isn't, with the death tolls rising rapidly, and worse to come with the disease and death that follows a natural disaster such as this, whether it be disease from dead bodies of humans and animals floating around in the water, to starvation and dehydration through lack of food and drinking water.
Our thoughts at this time go out to anyone effected by the disaster, and their friends and families. Many of us at SI know people who have been out there and are safe, and some of us also know of people who are still missing out there at the moment.
What we are asking you all to do is just do something to raise money, it doesn't matter how much, every penny helps. Or if you are in the fortunate position to have money in your account, just donate something, anything.
We've been spending the last couple of days trying to find one of the many worthwhile charities that are doing work out there to support. It's been a nightmare, as they are all doing such good work. This morning, I spoke to the press officer at Cathod, and she informed me that all the UK based charities have pooled together to have one donation line to make decisions like this a lot easier for people to know where to donate to.
The organisation is called the Disaster Emergencies Committee (DEC), and their website is www.dec.org.uk
If you want to make donations, you can do so directly through https://securetrading.net/authorize/...ant=decaea7921 - if you are a UK resident and working, PLEASE remember to tick the "Gift Aid - Yes" box, and the goverment will then pay any tax on the amount (28p in every £1 donated) through to the charity through your own tax payments (this is not an extra payment, just money taken directly from tax you've already paid), which means that for every £1 donated, the appeal with get an extra 28p.
Thank you for reading this far, and if you haven't made a donation yet, please do.
I wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year, and hope that you can spare some time to think about those less fortunate than yourself at this festive time
