That's a really good idea. Tools might be one item worth sending in bulk if
they are hard to come by in the region, unlike mailing, say, bottled water
as one poster suggested.

Perhaps a big tool company or Home Depot type super store or
carpentry-related TV show could sponsor a drive. An opportunity for them to
do some good while simultaneously getting good press and developing customer
loyalty.

Who could we drop that suggestion to?

I would think that there must be a need for all kinds of woodworking,
carpentry and other trade tools in all of the countries affected by the
tsunami.

In particular, I have several used but quite serviceable tools that I'd
be happy to pass along if I know where to send them. I'm guessing that
many other woodworkers, carpenters and builders also have items to
donate.

Does anyone know of an organization collecting such tools? I'd even pay
a reasonable amount for shipping if I were assured they were going to a
good cause.
