Tsunami Aid Not Given, Not Used
Chuck Simmins | December 20, 2006
My compilation of private American aid for tsunami relief, the Stingy List, went over a billion dollars. I was less than enthusiastic about the pledges of various governments, and it would seem, for good reason.

Sunday Times of London pushes no news as news
Aceh - Women and the Tsunami
Chuck Simmins | December 18, 2006
Please note that all the stories here are about women in Aceh. The final exerpt is very important because it is from a study done very recently on life for the women of Aceh. Note that violence against women is not pervasive nor is it related to tsunami aid in any way.
That Wacky Sunday Times of London
Chuck Simmins | December 18, 2006
The Sunday Times of London carries a story long on supposition and short on fact.
Culture of Giving
Chuck Simmins | May 12, 2006
BBC
Philanthropy is so well established it has spawned its own academic discipline.
New York University has a department of philanthropy. There is also the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
I have even attended a philanthropy workshop in the bowels of Congress, where rich Americans learned how to give their money away and how to make sure it was spent [...]
Pork Busted
Chuck Simmins | April 24, 2006
Think Progress e-mails me with a fine example of pork.
The junior Senator from Mississippi seems to have inserted into an aid package a provision that would advance Northrop Grumman up to a half billion dollars towards future contract payments by the government, as an assist in recovering from hurricane damages. They’re insured and are [...]
Massive fraud hits tsunami aid
Chuck Simmins | April 17, 2006
It’s the Brits that have complaints, but I imagine most aid agencies will agree.
Times
Banda Aceh was ground zero in the tsunami of Boxing Day 2004, which claimed more than 200,000 lives across the Indian Ocean. More people died here than anywhere else.
Now two charities that raised unprecedented sums in Britain have fallen victim to rip-offs [...]
Habitat for Humanity’s Tsunami Recovery Overview
Chuck Simmins | January 25, 2006
Habitat for Humanity
In the year since the Indian Ocean tsunami, Habitat for Humanity has assisted an estimated 6,000 households in India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand to gain permanent housing. Over the next 24 months, Habitat for Humanity plans to provide direct housing assistance to as many as 20,000 families, and to assist 10,000 to [...]
Tsunami Anniversary
Chuck Simmins | December 26, 2005
It’s one year since the tsunami ravaged the coasts of South Asia. If you’d like to read about the initial relief effort, it’s fairly well documented in my blog. I originated the Stingy List, a PDF file listing the billion plus dollars donated to tsunami relief by Americans, individuals, businesses and groups.
The Financial Times had [...]
Time’s Person of the Year
Chuck Simmins | December 18, 2005
Poliblog points out this story. Time picks three very rich people as their person[s] of the year. For their giving, of course.
I agree with him that there were a number of better choices.
I once wrote that while it was laudable what Princess Diana did in her chairitable endeavours, she could afford to. Bill and Melinda [...]
Tsunami: Donations and Status
Chuck | August 18, 2005
I’m no longer working on the Stingy List, but I did want to point out that tsunami charity continues worldwide.
Gulf TimesBRITISH Airways together with Ramada Hotel and Doha Golf Club has raised QR180,000 for Southeast Asia’s tsunami-stricken children. The money was raised at an auction gala dinner organised during a celebrity amateur golf tournament, with [...]
Tsunami: Six Months and Building
Chuck Simmins | July 7, 2005
I’ve completed a more detailed look at the state of tsunami aid on the six month anniversary of the disaster. That page is called Tsunami Aid. It’s not meant to be comprehensive, just representative of the work that’s been done and that to be done. It covers the world’s response, not just Americas. If you [...]
