The population of the United Kingdom is 60 million. I'm sure the vast majority of those 60 million people can afford to part with ten pounds. If 60 million people donate 10 pounds then that's 0.6 billion pounds collected, which at the current exchange rate is over a billion dollars.
The population of the United States is around 300 million. Again. most of those people can afford to part with ten dollars. If everyone in the US donates 10 dollars that would be 3 billion dollars total.
So our running total is now 4 billion dollars US
Canada's population is 32 million people. With every Canadian donating 10 Canadian dollars then that's 0.32 billion Canadian dollars, or at the current exchange rate, a quarter of a billion US dollars.
4.25 Billion US dollars.
Japan has a population exceeding 125 million people. A thousand yes is worth around about 10 US dollars, so a donation of 1000 yen from everyone in Japan would equate to 1 and a quarter billion dollars.
5 and a half billion dollars.
And so far our governments have donated a paltry few million here an there to the people of the countries devastated by the tsunami.
The figures clearly show that if we all pull our weight we can do far better than our governments have so far.

Hey all of u Asian or so they call it the 3rd worlders. Don't waste your time with these Farang. Waste your time jing jing. They are so under educated and don't understand that US is not doing well themselves. They are broke that is why they only send out their little GI Joe. Just remeber what goes around comes around. Look at southern LA...Mud slid! Florida...6 or 7 Hurricanes at once! SF...Earthquake! NY...911! Dang I can go on and on and on. I am US born and support all people but I can't stand immature people who put shame and make all Farang look likes monkeys with clothes on. 5555555

to anonymous number 2 fuck the allah. If the country that you lived got this kind of Tsunami thing, wondering that the allah will help you out from this shit? I bet not coz you would be dead straight away while you're praying for mother fucking allah. To all the people in the world thank you for the donation to help other people in the world. Hopefully that every single money that you've donated will help those people.
Thailand is not accepting any financial-aid.
Anyway, thanks for you good guys for your helping hands that came to us.

If your village has been ripped of by that tidal wave,you lost your house,family,job etc..At that level of stress,don't you think those people need psychiatrists?
I'm quite disappointed about the way you guys make fun of my country.I've been working as a volunteer at the aiding center at my university for 3 days long without going to bed.Among those victims,there are many foreigners such as american british french german scandinavian etc.I don't care if there are my people or not.I treated them equaly as they all are citizens of the world.at that time,there's only donations from local people(you may call them 3rdworlders).Those people were in very bad condition.they've lost everything.Some people lost friends,some even lost members of their families.In fact it's none of my business.But I couldn't leave them alone.Some of foreigners wanted to commit suicide.I see none of people from the embassies of those countries who call themself "developped countries"
PS.I'd like to appologize to you all if i made any linguistic mistakes as english is a foreign language to me.

Sorry, Let me correct you on this: Thailand is not a poor country. Thailand have everything that other countries has, I think that Thailand is more updated then others. If you don't know then you have to visit it for yourself but then again USA is so closed minded and heartless...don't bother. USA Vs. Thailand...Thailand and it's people have what you all lack is NAM JAI (HEART).
