SRI LANKAN UPDATE

  Last week, E-Sylum subscriber Kavan Ratnatunga of Sri Lanka
  suggested that those of us wishing to help in the disaster 
  recovery efforts send donations to LAcNet, a US non-profit 
  organization which is coordinating its efforts via
  LAcNet.  When we published our issue 
  on Monday the web site noted about $3,300 had been collected;
  as of Wednesday afternoon the total was over $20,000, and 
  as of December 31st the total was over $39,000.  Many thanks
  to those of you who were able to contribute.  LAcNet relief
  organizers have posted progress updates at
  LAcNet relief updates
  The group initiated   several projects and has broken down 
  how the money is being  spent.  

  Kavan is well and writes: "Thanks very much for all your help,
  publicity and contributions.  I was away for two days in a 
  badly struck region in the east of lanka and just returned a
  few hours ago."
