Happy new year everybody.

I'll soon be back home in Canada to complete the work on the next  release of Messenger Plus!, however, the current circumstances in Asia pushed me to act sooner than that. It is my pleasure to announce that a donation of $1,000 was made to the Red Cross in the name of the whole Messenger Plus! community. Let's hope this small gesture will help make a difference, they are all counting on our support out there.

I'll be back with more news in a week or two. Hold on to your 2005 resolutions!

Patchou

Cool Patchou, I've donated £20 towards the appeal and I just wish for them that everything will be okay, you've definitely made a difference to some peoples lives over there, they've had over a billion donated from different countries already!!

For (dutch) people that don't have the funds available to donate, try this:

erm, try what?

anyway we sent £5000 to a family we know has been affected by it.

Nice, very nice of you! I already donated money, trough my mobile phone. A Dutch TV station had an action, for every SMS you sended to their number you needed to pay 1.50 euro and they donated the full ammount to the tsunami victoms. Nice way to donate: SMS like crazy and help people at the same time.

it's simply great !

I would donate some money but I don't have any. Good to see the money is going to a good cause.

I might donate some cash, but I know that I'm going to try my best to help the cause! It has all happened so fast, there have been a few minutes silences throughout the week, and everybody is trying their best to help the people out there that have been affected, I just feel helpless that I can't do anything right now.

I work in oxfam anyway, and donated £50 via them.

Has any of the sponsor money been donated? (From the MSGPlus! sponsor install thingy-ma-jig)

you are right

Me and my friends are starting something up, which is like a skarz charity aid for the tsunami disaster, we are still thinking of what to do for it, its a possibility that we will go to stratford, birmingham, redditch, alcester, wherever and collect money if they are willing, or just do some general stunts, I might try and organise a skate competition or something at stratford skatepark, after getting permission of course .

Very nice Patchou, im currently on holiday in Phuket, Thailand and the damage is very bad.

I hope to share a few Pictures that i have took.

Well our school had an own clothes day and we had to pay two pounds for the tsunami disaster. I will report with how much we raised on Monday. I myself donated three pounds (that was all my money ).

That is very nice of you

Well last night Australia held a tv show/concert and raised 15 million dollars in half an hour and also australia has donated to most money/help/supplies just thought i would share that all with you but aparently it still isnt enough most people in austrlia are taking a dollar out of there pay and donating it to the tsunami fund i think it is excellent how people can be so nice and help people who are in big trouble

If you havnt donated then donate, even a little money will help, please donate imagine if you were in that position. Patchou you are so kind what a great donatian you have saved a lot of lives

1 more thing:

Australia's people donated: $220million <--Thanks Pipish for telling me
population: 20million

USA's people donated: $200million
Population: 280million

Australias Prime Minister (John Howard): donated: $1 million
USA's President donated (George Bush): about $500,000

Tell me watcha think about that??

That America is in massive debt and we can't really afford that much at the moment?

Well lets see....if every American donated just $1 then that would be $280 million dollars.....so $1 is lot of money aint it...

=/. we are still raising money here, today we had a major cricket game with international cricket stars playing. america can do more and so can many more countries. australia is doing so much because of our close friendship with indonesia and such other countries.
