    WHAT a great idea. Not only will there be tangible support for the
    victims, but you are forming a much longer-lasting gift to the world
    - someone who cares and sees that her actions make a difference.
    Congratulations on your choice. 

    There's no better legacy we can leave than a child who grows up to
    be a truly good person.

    Well - duh - I glommed onto a side issue at first (though I think
    that's terribly important too).  How about a Hill Tribes silver
    based item?  Those materials are already the main support for many
    rural Indonesians (did I get the location right?  I'm really bad at
    remembering where even _I_ live) and a major uptick in their sales
    would help them twice over.
