In the first two weeks following the tsunamis that devastated the coasts of South Asia,
people pledged nearly $4 billion (U.S.) globally, with private Canadians contributing at least $70 million
(CDN). The Canadian government has promised to match these funds. Share your reaction to
this unprecedented outpouring of donations.
Why do you think this disaster moved so many people to give money? Do you think private citizens are
doing enough? How else could people contribute? Do you think the Canadian government is doing enough to
help? What more might the government do?
