Dartmouth students, faculty and staff are marshalling forces to offer aid to the survivors, and to honor those who lost their lives, in last month's devastating Indian Ocean tsunamis. Many wish to make contributions to relief organizations helping survivors in the nations affected by this devastating natural disaster. This Web page is intended to facilitate the donation process by providing links to recognized relief organizations, informational sources and guidelines on what is needed as the situation unfolds.
