am i reading it right, Germany and Australia gave close to 1 Billion $ ?

canada upped its donation to some 485mil i believe, over time.

The money is nice, but it wont replace the lives that it took.

That figure for Australia is a little low. It was already over $6 per person before the telethon which raised over 15 million and the world vs asia cricket match which also raised over 15 million. our population is around 20 million :thumbsup

canada did its share

:thumbsup

go norway, i knew my bros had that kind of cash

US Gov should donate 1Bill.

I think it actually IS some sort of wealth indicator for the most part

(and not so much about people in other countries being "heartless")

Sweden has collected a large amount also in private donations. We have had several fundraising events and TV and newspapers run campaigns 24 hrs a day. Don't know why we aren't on that list yet though.

billions dont drop from trees

No, it isn't a wealth indicator, although wealth is one of the contributing factors.

no George Bush drops it from planes

We should be at the list. Over 50,000,000 euros!!! and we are 9 millions here...

OUCH!!!!!!!!

Exactly. Great work fellow swedes :thumbsup

CNN didn't have any private donations listed from Sweden but BBC lists 60 Million private donations from Sweden

That would be $6.73 per Swede, number 4 in the list

nice one

:1orglaugh

Did Germany have some special interest over there? It's kind of strange for that particular country to donate so much to this crisis.

German people love Swedish people... Dont you know that?

but that would be like an entire 4 hours of war time, just wasted

Why? Because it sounds like a cool number? :helpme

Where's Japan? Hideki Matsui donated close to a million by himself.

Yea and fuck over all the startving people we have here and veterens and senior citizens without healthcare.


Fuck off troll

$0.03 - Poland - 1.00 - 1.30 - 38.61

haha :)

Swedish people? In indonesia???

per capita.... 1M devided to all japanes is nothing

Thats not to funny dude.... One person cant do everything but we can all do something....

If Bush did not spend all of clinton's money the US could have given more.. Bah HE SUCKS!!!

Roethlisberger gives check to tsunami aid


NFL.com wire reports

PITTSBURGH (Jan. 11, 2005) -- Ben Roethlisberger has surprised his Pittsburgh Steelers ' teammates many times during his unbeaten rookie season. He did so again, announcing he'll donate his first NFL playoff paycheck to the tsunami victims relief effort.

foriegner?

I guess polish people are not going to Thailand, SriLanka and Indonesia as much as sweds ;)

true... Poland is a poor country but very nice people there.

Oh, thanks. I was reading it wrong. :thumbsup

I agree. What do you think we'll spend on all the military assistance we're giving? The naval vessels that are ferrying in food, water, medical supplies, etc? The Marines off the amphibious units that are searching for bodies, helping to clean up and rebuild?

You can be sure the US will spend far more than 1Bill. before this is over.

Why do you ask?

Those numbers seem kind of off to me...

425M$ actually:

It's not that poor. They have a pretty big middle-class and it's growing a lot.
Wages for simple jobs are crazy low there.. Give it 5-10 years, and their new EU membership will help them a lot ;)
