Het lijkt mij beter als het geld van dit soort benefieten naar kleine onafhankelijke initiatieven gaat. Zoals die actie van Evert Jan van Hoek die op een andere Indymedia pagina staat bescheven:

Het lijkt mij beter als mensen die weten waar dit geld beter heen kan gaan dat hier posten en/of hun eigen feestjes organiseren. Tegen 555 valt vast een en ander te zeggen, daar staat weer tegenover dat ze veel expertise in huis hebben en zodoende misschien toch weer veel kunnen bereiken.

HELP THE TSUNAMI VICTIMS but not the 'development' charities !!!!!!!!!
Given that this part of Asia is rife with sweat shop labour , I worry that many displaced people will be pushed to working for money instead of being encouraged to continue working on their own land. Put simply , this is a bad situation because it puts them instantly at the mercy of the financial markets who decide the value of any money they earn, whereas , if they to continue to work their own land they would have incomes with more dependable value and free-er more community based lives.
This is a view shared by most academics who have studied the charitable sector and economic development paradigms and is currently driving the agendas of progressive NGOs. I am not saying do not donate to the mainstream charities if you really want to , i am merely trying to find ways to help people donate money in ways that suit their own beliefs and will help in the ways that
if anyone reading this article knows of good ecologically and ethically sound charities who operate in the area
who are promoting sustainable development based solutions could they please post them as comments to this one.

4 - Tsunami Relief: Via Campesina

EMERGENCY: Please donate to Via Campesina Tsunami relief and reconstruction fund
Via Campesina launches initiative to raise funds for self-help by affected communities
Please support fisherfolk and peasant communities in their own relief and reconstruction from the Tsunami disaster
Via Campesina ( http://www.viacampesina.org) - the global alliance of peasant, family farmer, farm worker, indigenous and landless peoples organizations, and other rural movements - calls for solidarity with the millions of people affected by the tsunami disaster and is launching a global fundraising campaign to channel assistance to affected communities of fisherfolk and peasants, for their own relief and reconstruction efforts, through grassroots organizations.
We ask for your donation for direct emergency support to provide basic needs of food, clean drinking water, shelter and health care to affected fisherfolk and peasant families, as well as to help us initiate the long term work of reconstructing our own communities and rebuilding our livelihoods.

The relief philosophy of Via Campesina is that our communities should participate actively and be the key actors in the re-construction process, and that our fisherfolk and peasant organizations should play a key mobilizing and supporting role.Via Campesina wants to give our communities and organizations the political support they need in this process, and to help get the funds we need for reconstruction. The funds raised in this campaign will be used to strengthen local communities as the key actors in this process.
The success of local, self-organized, civil society disaster relief efforts in previous disasters in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, contrasted with government inefficiency and top-down, demobilizing programs, has often marked a key stage in the empowerment and growth of large, popular, grassroots, civil society social movements by which previously marginalized people take control of their own lives. Let us work together at this time, and let us do so in ways that help build self-sufficiency, grassroots organization, and peoples power for the future.
In addition to the millions who have been displaced or affected, many tens of thousands have lost their homes and fishing equipment or farming tools. Fisherfolk have lost their boats, and the land of peasant families has been contaminated, their crops destroyed and
their farm animals lost.Your donation will help us get back on our feet.
Examples of actions already underway:
- In Indonesia, the National Federation of Indonesian Peasant Organizations (FSPI), a member of Via Campesina, together with a number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), has created a civil society relief team that is now working in Aceh (with an estimated 25,000 dead and many times more missing and/or homeless) and in North Sumatra (5,000 dead) provinces to distribute supplies, and to carry out search and rescue missions for missing people. The situation in dramatic, and at the moment (30 Dec) there is no direct communication with many areas.
- In Sri Lanka, perhaps the country worst hit by the tsunamis, the National Organization of Fisherfolk (NAFSO) has sent 5 teams to affected areas for relief work and help communities start the task of reconstruction. They have organized fact finding missions and are now defining how to cope with the urgent relief needs while communities plan and begin to carry the medium term work of rehabilitation.
