American Living Near Tsunami Affected Areas Choose Mercy Relief as Charity of Choice



May 13, 2005 -- Americans and other expatriates from around the globe living in South East Asia have seen the effects of the disasters in a closer proximity than their friends and relatives back home. Many affluent expatriates in Singapore are well traveled throughout the Asia, particularly throughout popular weekend destination spots in Thailand and Malaysia, so they feel a close connection to the areas affected.

Unlike donators back in the States who may have doubts as to how their money is helping, expatriates in South East Asia see local charities progress reported on in local media daily.

The Ambassador's Cup Golf Tournament, sponsored by the American Association of Singapore, is one of the highlights of the Singapore golf calendar and this year proceeds will be donated to Mercy Relief. Mercy Relief is a Singaporean charity that has made great strides in assisting neighbors in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand rebuild their lives.

The American Association of Singapore is just one of the many international communities in the area donating to Mercy Relief. For further information on how you can help, please call the American Association of Singapore at 65-6738-0371.
