Hi Guys and Gals,
Sorry Robb has been traveling and in fact I am getting ready to head over there too Thailand on Monday.
Robb had done what he could with what he had. We collected $4,000 from use and many webmasters that contributed to the fund we set up.
We did collect from everyone BTW. Thank you very much.
Robb was able to reach areas that had not yet received any relief yet at the time he went.
Now however I am sure as is Robb that many organizations are in country and organized and able to reach the people direct. Robb was happy to have had the opportunity to do what he did as you can clearly feel when you read his brief about his trip.

He does not, at this time, have any planes to return to the area. All money that was left over from what we collected (couple hundred) was deposited in a direct fund in Bangkok.
In my opinion the time for anything to really benefit the people directly is done. There is so much money raised now that it is doubtful that anyone will do without. I do not want to sound like I do not care because I do care a great deal, but in reality the need for food and water and that need is going to be done already and the long term financial needs are going to be taken care of as well with the loads of funds collected and pledged by the people and governments of the world.
My thanks to those who did step forward and also sent their well wishes to Robb and his trip. It was a success and he was able to reach those that need what he was able to provide.
