Red Cross helps forward donations

Anyone following international news has seen the pictures of devastation and disaster following the terrible tsunami that struck parts of Asia on December twenty-sixth. The Belize Red Cross Society has not launched a local appeal, but informs all Belizeans that they will help forward any monetary donations to Red Cross and Red Crescent headquarters in Geneva. The International Federation has launched an appeal to try and help victims of the deadly tidal waves and aid workers are providing humanitarian assistance. The Belize Red Cross has also announced anyone wishing to contact family members in the affected countries or contribute to the International Appeal should call their office in Belize City or log on to IFRC.org.
