    I live in the USA and want to know how best to help after the tsunami. Would it be best to mail some of the above listed supplies? Or to just send money? WHere would I send either?

    Thank you. Jennifer

    Fro US money is the best way to donate for several reasons: 1. Immediate, 2. No shipping costs, 3. It is cheaper to buy these things in say India at a fractional cost (More bang for the money), 4. Needs change and the locals can adjust to the chang in needs, etc. You may donate monies to to Sarvodaya on this site, which I do not believe is registered as a charitable organization in USA. Alternatively, you may donate to the Sri Lankan Association in St. Louis (http:/www.stlsrilankan.org), which is registered as 501C3 nonprofit chariatable organization in USA.
    ADMINS NOTE – As executive director of Sarvodaya USA I can most definitely confirm that the US organization is a 501c3 tax-exempt non profit organization. When one contributes to Sarvodaya USA through the PayPal connection on this website, the donation is tax deductible for U.S. citizens, and it all will be sent directly to Sarvodaya Headquarters.

    We have 100’s of plush toys for Tsunami Survivors or Poorest of the Poor Children. Do you have a drop off location in Portland, Oregon, or Vancouver, Washington (both in USA). If not please provide us with any other location in Northwest USA, or give us a dirrect shipment address. Thank you, g-d bless, Annette & Michelle

    What percentage of the money we donate to your organization will go directly to the tsunami relief effort i.e. the people?
