Help tsunami victims in Sri Lanka, by donating clothing etc

    (Revised): Sri Lankan Airways doesn't now seek clothing etc; maybe later

    I was quick to post the following email

    But just phoned the Airline - partly as figured they could be swamped (and just a chance it's a hoax), and found they already have enough for present:
    sending two 40-ft containers.
    Maybe they'll get sponsorship/raise funds for more, but till then, donations NOT NEEDED.

    I left my tel, email, so may get informed if they again seek donations.


    A leading Sri lankan cargo has promised to send containers at free of
    charge to Sri Lanka. Please review below for details or drop the items/
    clothing to the following address before 12 Jan to offer help.
