Welcome to the UCLA Students for Tsunami Relief website.  In light of the horrific natural tragedy that South Asia has just gone through, we are working hard to raise money to help the poor victims of the Tsunami last month.

Over 200,000 are dead, and five million people are at risk of starvation and disease. The death toll could literally DOUBLE. The biggest problem is that the relief organizations need money for water, food, and sanitation.

HOW CAN YOU HELP THE TSUNAMI VICTIMS?

1. Volunteer…come to one of our meetings.  We are planning a campus wide Dodgeball Tournament and need your help to put this on.
2. Donate to the cause.  I know we’re all starving college students…but a little change can go a long way
3. Spread the word.  Tell your friends about opportunities to help.
