Human Rights Organization Finds Breakdown in Sri Lankan Relief Efforts
In a White Paper released this week, the International Foundation for Human Rights and Tolerance has found serious breakdowns in the international relief effort for Sri Lankan victims of the devastating December 26th tsunamis.As relief operations were underway, the Foundation sent a Human Rights Fact-Finding team to Sri Lanka. Their objectives included determining whether there was any substance to reports that millions of dollars donated for tsunami relief was not reaching the victims.
The team met with representatives of national and local governments, international relief organizations, non governmental organizations (NGOs), such as UNICEF, Save the Children, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), local charitable groups, schools, refugee camps, orphanages and individuals in Sri Lanka helping with disaster relief. They also visited 28 refugee camps and spoke to many living there, most of them fishermen put out of work by the tsunamis and their families.Team members found that voluntary organizations, local community leaders, non-governmental organizations and, at a local level, some government bodies and representatives of international humanitarian organizations are carrying the burden, but that the enormous sums pledged by the international community are not reaching those who most need them.The White Paper, Destruction and Recovery: A Fact-finding Mission to Sri Lanka, January 22 -- February 11, 2005, reports that "unless action is taken, the goodwill and financial support that flowed freely in the wake of the disaster will be squandered. More importantly, the people who most need help will fail to receive it."During their visit, the team provided food and medical supplies to residents, mandatory uniforms for 127 school children living in three camps from both Trincomalee and Galle, and a boat that will provide enough income to feed two large families.
The Foundation also arranged to cover living expenses, books, clothes and travel expenses for 19 young students who are graduating from school and wish to enter university. Further sponsorship is planned. The White Paper, which documents the team's findings in full, is fully illustrated and can be accessed at the Foundation's website: www.humanrightsandtolerance.org..

There is nothing more precious than time. Not money, nor
love. Without time, the others don't exist.
Knowing that, how do we spend our time? Do we recognize its
unstoppable passage and make the most of each valuable
moment?
Some do. Most of us, however, do not.
If we were to equate time spent frivolously with money lost,
would we spend it more wisely?
Maybe - maybe not.
When I started my eBusiness in 1998, one of the first things
I did to get traffic was to submit my site to Yahoo! Back
then, Yahoo! listings were free, the directory was much
smaller and getting huge traffic numbers from them was easy.
Pretty soon, my site was generating sales left, right and

So what did I do? Did I follow suit with another hot,
marketable topic? Did I I repeat the process many more times

Father's Day Steak: Tips For Cooking a Mouth-Watering Steak
It's a trite, but often repeated saying: The way to a man's heart is through
his stomach. So why, when Father's Day rolls around, do we buy
endless ties and golf accessories? Is the way to his heart through his clothes?
Not likely. It's the stomach, people, and that means good food. For many men,
good food comes in the form of a great steak.
So what if you're not a steak eater, or you eat it only in restaurants and
the thought of purchasing a raw slab scares you to death? Fear not. It's not
that complicated, really.
Even a caveman can handle this job.
It's important to know your cuts of meat before planning the
menu. You don't want to cook the dad in your life a tasteless, tough piece of
leather. You might not notice the difference, but let's face it - he will. Since
you'll likely be grilling, it's important to know the best cuts of meat for the
grill.
You want to...
