Thailand Needs Help, But Not Money

I was watching the Newshour last night, and they interviewed an Assistant Prime Minister of Thailand. He was speaking in the middle of a devastated village, with dead bodies visible.

He said that Thailand does not need money. However, Thailand does need "technical help." Specifically, he said that they need people with experience in identifying dead bodies, as well as other types of disaster management.

I don't know if this need for halp translates across the board for devastated nations, but it does cast an interesting light on the now daily box score for national financial contributions.

All of this said, I encourage everyone to contribute what you can to one of the organizations that moe.ron listed earlier in this thread. I gave all that I could.
