The one country that really stands out for me is Mexico giving only $100,00.
Is it just me, or does that seem a little stingy??
I know Mexico isn't the richest country in the world, but can't they give more than Nepal? [/b][/quote]
Personally i think germany's is pretty low. Its worth bearing in mind that nearly half of Britains is through public donations rather than government money though. Sweden's is just incredible. And good on Estonia, Nepal et al. Might not seem much compared to other countries but thats still shelter for thousands of people. Again i emplore people to donate whatever they can afford. No doubt very soon there'll be another big story in our thoughts but this is a catastrophic event that shouldnt be cast aside when the next story hits.
