Please help- Question about Tsunami aid
Does anyone know how I can donate for the tsunami aid, and specifically request that my money go to the people in Somalia who were affected by the tsunami?

I was reading an article on Yahoo News today, where Somalian officials said they weren't really getting some of the help they need to recover from the tsunami, and I feel this is uncalled for. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050103/ap_on_re_af/tsunami_somalia_2

I'd like to find an organization to donate to, where I can specifically ask my money to go to Somalian tsunami relief.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

1. I think eBay ...
... has a general method of sending in a donation (UNICEF??), but I'm not certain whether one can designate a gift destination through eBay.

2. I think that Catholic Relief Services lets you specify.
But it is a Catholic organization.

3. BUMP!
I just wanted to keep this kicked up, in case anyone has any suggestions for me.

To the person who mentioned Catholic Relief Services, I went to their website, but I didn't see a way to donate to a specific country. When I went there, it just had the option to donate to the tsunami relief fund, but it wouldn't let me specify a country affected by it.

Thanks.
