Our staff are actively working in the region in Sri Lanka and East Timor, but on December 26th were not in harm's way. Our partner groups and friends in Sri Lanka have also fared well, to our relief. Like the rest of the world, we have been following the Asian disaster closely.

There is actually a great piece by a professor at George Washington University, Ronald Weitzer. I also lived in Sri Lanka right about the time that sex tourism became a big deal, and saw it firsthand. He wrote a brilliant piece about the moral crusade of this issue, and that's not to say that it's not to be taken seriously.
