Tsunami pushed philanthropy forward - Asian Philanthropy Forum

Tsunami pushed philanthropy forward - Asian Philanthropy Forum: "Five years ago today, the devastation caused by the tsunami in India, Indonesia, Sir Lanka and Thailand was overwhelming. 230,000 people were killed, thousands injured and 10 million were homeless or displaced. But the response by individuals, companies and foundations was just as overwhelming. Many groups, like the Asian Chefs Association held a gala to raise funds for disaster relief and recovery. Children in grade schools found creative ways to raise money to help other children across the world."
