Sri Lanka and the Tsunami


I'm sure we all could not believe the disasters from the Tsunami. I know our prayers go out to those that have endured this disaster--and are still enduring.

In the past, this community has been very helpful in times of need. We have a dealer in Sri Lanka. He came to the US and I spent a day with him training. I have been communicating via e-mail with him since the Tsunami. He and his family are safe, but he says the disaster is really quite beyond belief. I asked him if there is anything I could do to help. He asked for water purification tablets. They need the type the kills both viral and micro-organisms. I have purchased all that is available here, and it wasn't very much. I'm asking help, if anyone can send us more of these tablets, Rives Audio will express ship all of them to our contact in Sri Lanka.

If you care to help, please send tablets to:
Rives Audio
PO Box 5548
Coralville, IA 52241

My plan is to ship at the end of next week, so if you can help, please do so quickly. I don't really want a bunch of tablets after we've shipped.

Rives, a company that manufactures such tablets in my home town has taken up the cause.

This link could help multiply your efforts.
I have also contacted Wisconsin Pharmacal in an attempt to discern whether I can purchase the tablets directly. If so, I will be in a position to 'drop in' and pick up bulk tablets that are ship-ready and then forward them to Rives.

I'll expound on this once I get some answers...
Well, try as I might, I have not been able to capture the attention of anyone at WP via email or phone. They are obviously not interested in dealing with the public directly.

Back to the drawing board...
