CWS Assists Tsunami Survivors
A team from Church World Service Pakistan/Afghanistan provided supplies and assessed continuing needs in Betticaloa last week, meeting with tsunami survivors in the camps, camp managers, and church leaders.

'We will still be there'
Urgently needed medical supplies left Interchurch Medical Assistance (IMA) for tsunami-wracked Indonesia Tuesday. The medicines will be in the hands of tsunami survivors in less than two days. Several WOC/IMA Medicine Boxes have been sent to Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti and the Dominican Republic in the past. To aid in this latest emergency, newly assembled boxes will be going for tsunami relief.
