    I don't want to be the one to shout 'bah humbug', but apparently there is now enough money raised
    for tsunami relief to provide $1000 for each of the five million people most affected. That's an
    awful lot of money - and, frankly, the amount of people who've died is about the same as the number
    of under-4s dying from malnutrition each fortnight in Africa, and that's going to keep on happening
    whether it makes headlines or not.

    If you enlarged the criteria to something more long term (eg
    http://www.makepovertyhistory.org/home.html or http://www.data.org/) then I'll take you up on your
    offer, with thanks.
