Sri Lanka and the Tsunami

I'm sure we all could not believe the disasters from the Tsunami. I know our prayers go out to those that have endured this disaster--and are still enduring.

In the past, this community has been very helpful in times of need. We have a dealer in Sri Lanka. He came to the US and I spent a day with him training. I have been communicating via e-mail with him since the Tsunami. He and his family are safe, but he says the disaster is really quite beyond belief. I asked him if there is anything I could do to help. He asked for water purification tablets. They need the type the kills both viral and micro-organisms. I have purchased all that is available here, and it wasn't very much. I'm asking help, if anyone can send us more of these tablets, Rives Audio will express ship all of them to our contact in Sri Lanka.

If you care to help, please send tablets to:
Rives Audio
PO Box 5548
Coralville, IA 52241

My plan is to ship at the end of next week, so if you can help, please do so quickly. I don't really want a bunch of tablets after we've shipped.

Rel: Thank you. I've sent that information on to those in Sri Lanka. I'm sure the water purification companies don't want anyone to find out about that:)
Loonytunz: Thanks again. I have not heard anything from them since contacting them.

Well, try as I might, I have not been able to capture the attention of anyone at WP via email or phone. They are obviously not interested in dealing with the public directly.

Back to the drawing board...

I have gotten nothing from them either. Oh well, it was worth a try.

I've just returned from CES. I want to thank all of you that have thus far sent in water purification tablets and other means for purifying water. I am shipping all out on Friday, so if anyone else is shipping to us please do so quickly.

I will have to say, there were a few individuals that were very generous to this cause, well beyond what I would have expected. I won't embarass anyone by listing names--but again a thank you. My shipping bill will be greater because of your generousity--and worth every cent.
