Trickbaby [www.trickbabymusic.co.uk] - "To wake on the 26th of December and find that families, homes, whole towns and communities had quite literally been ripped apart by the earthquake and tsunami disaster in South Asia was heartbreaking and sickening. It's all very well watching the news and feeling sorry for those who have lost loved ones - it's all very well counting our blessings and saying how lucky we are sat with our families in front of the TV in the warmth of our living rooms but as the death toll continues to mount and the mammoth operation begins to rebuild the lives of the homeless and |
|
| orphaned and to provide aid, water, food, shelter and medical supplies to the needy...it's time for us to do something and that means putting our hands in our pockets and donating as little or as much as we can afford. Go on...do it now, and keep doing it..." |
Djinn [www.djinnmusic.co.uk] - "To make a donation won't kill you. To not make a donation will kill a child."
Mistri [www.mistri.tv] - "What an awful end to a year. No one could've predicted this tragedy and right now we all feel so helpless watching those images on TV or reading the ever-increasing death tolls. What can we do? We can't change anything. We can however make sure that those survivors have some sort of future. There destines changed forever...let us make sure we honour their lives by helping in the way we can by giving cash. Every little helps. Remember they have nothing...so we will always be fortunate. May peace come from this tragedy."
Mukhtar Sahota - "So many lives have been lost and homes destroyed, it makes you think, 'what if that was us?' It would give us some comfort knowing that we are not alone and that the other nations are there for us. Lets all do as much as we can to let them know that they are not on their own."
Taz (Stereo Nation) [www.stereonation.co.uk] - "The world today has witnessed one of the worst unprecedented disasters in history. The wrath of the Tsunamis Earthquake has claimed tens of thousands of lives, leaving behind an unimaginable risk to potentially further loss of life, through disease and the lack of basic humanitarian needs such as food, water and medication. The survivors of this horrible tragedy are in need of these basics, just to stay alive. My appeal to you today is a plight for help on behalf of those men women and children whose lives at this minute in time are in great danger, should they not receive the aid they so desperately need. So please make your donation now!!!! Before we loose more lives; it is our duty as fellow human beings to help and support everyone concerned in this much-needed time."
Sonia Panesar - "Words cannot describe the emotions of deep sorrow and sadness by the affects of the tsunami not only in the south east of Asia but across the whole world and inside of me. One can only imagine what the people experienced at the time of the tsunami. Let this be a lesson to learn to respect and treat each other equally and not to take life or each other for granted. Life is too short. May God bless the souls of those who are now gone. May God also bless the survivors with inner strength and strong-will to continue their journey in life. The rest is in HIS hands…Rab Raakha…"
Bobby Friction (Radio 1) [www.bobbyandnihal.com] - "It's the biggest disaster in modern history and all of us know that we are lucky to live in a part of the world where we have everything. Don't think about it, do it! Take £10, £20, even £50 and donate it because you know you can afford it!"
Sumeet [www.sumeetmusic.com] - "For a short while the images of the tsunami numbed me… shock first, then disbelief. Now they are forever burned in my memory - how could I ever forget the stone-set face of a father breaking down as he carried his lifeless child? So much grief, so much sorrow, so many displaced souls. Though no amount of donation will match the suffering, any amount will lessen the misery. Please help however you can, the smallest donation will travel farther than you can imagine."

These are the times when people need to come together and show that it is possible to make a difference and help people in need out. Sadly disasters like this only seem to strike those who are already poor and live in un-industrialized areas unlike us. This alone should open our eyes to aid those who are not as fortunate as us."
Phat Kat - "I was deeply moved by some of the images seen on TV following the horrific Tsunami in South East Asia. I feel that this is probably a good a time as any for us all to remember that we should not let our petty differences like race or religion get in the way of our day to day lives, and a reminder that life is too short to take for granted. My heart goes out to those families who have lost loved ones and to the millions who have been left homeless. If there is a God, I'm praying that he will look after them all and give them the strength to carry on."
