It's actually quite awesome. Follow the link to the NYTimes below. Ignore the article (Colin Powell thinks tsunamis that kill hundreds of thousands of people are horrible) and go to the ‘Multimedia’ section of the sidebar. Click the link—I'm sorry I can't find a faster way to do this—that says ‘A Disaster Unfolds.’ It's a flash presentation with an animation tracking the wave, and photos and such. Go to the ‘Photos: Response’ section and then the ‘Aid Picture’ button. You'll see a slide show of people from dozens of countries doing everything from collecting blankets to putting S&R helicopters in the air. All to help people who are suffering.

The New York Times

My favorite picture is of a volunteers of the Pakistani Edhi Foundation packing medicine for victims. Any other time you'd see a photo of a Pakistani man in the New York Times, it wouldn't be this. But this is how most people live: normal, regular folks who want to live in peace and will even take time out of their day to help those who are suffering thousands of miles away. We can't let a few maniacs with box-cutters make us forget how much we have in common.

When you've done that, go check out the Network for Good to see what you can do to help. (Hat Tip: Quilly)
