...find that in my home country, the Netherlands, a small nation of only 16 million people, more than $145 million was collected in private donations for victims of the tsunami disaster [Jan. 17]. That is in addition to the $300 million in assistance given by the government. I was glad to learn of proposals to install an early-warning system in the Indian Ocean that would alert people before a possible tsunami. In the aftermath of this disaster, philanthropists are demanding a better deal for the world's poor. There is more than enough money in the world to make...

People come up to him and thank him for giving them summer jobs when...
...glad to see the outpouring of support from people and nations around the globe for victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami. It demonstrates that there are still some very compassionate philanthropists in the world. Yet as the badly needed support arrives, the news is all about which countries are pledging the most assistance--and the U.S. is criticized for not giving more.
