|
|
Since the 27 December, the TEFL.com team has been coordinating aid where it can to those struck by the Tsunami disaster, including a fundraising appeal for the work of the Care International Tsunami Appeal. To date, almost GBP4000.00 has been raised. We are most grateful to our members and visitors who have donated so generously to CARE. Further donations can be made at http://www.tefl.com/tsunami/donations.html. These go direct to CARE International via the justgiving.com charity gateway and not to tefl.com. Alternatively you can of course donate to the charity of your choice.
We have had requests from educational organisations in the stricken region for EFL materials which were lost in the disaster. We are already in touch with the major ELT publishers and specialist booksellers requesting assistance in replacing these materials and the response has been truly encouraging. Over the coming weeks we expect to receive more requests for material assistance, therefore additional support from all our colleagues will be very welcomed by the recipients.
Thank you all for your generosity.
