www.dahab.net

I would like to point out and acknowledge a wonderful duo in Dahab, a small resort renowned for its Red Sea Diving about 50km from Sharm Elshikh; Astrid and Detlef Westerburg, proprietors of www.dahab.net. This German couple moved to Dahab three years ago and are involved in helping the local small hotel owners gain a wider audience through the internet and special events.
The reason I have chosen to mention them is because they took it upon themselves to not only donate generously to Sharm Relief but for also collecting donations from other individuals in their community through their site (not to mention the amount of traffic they passed on to SharmRelief.com.)
To Astrid and Detlef, the families of the victims of terror thank you not only for your generosity but for your time and effort as well.
Also, we are transferring the first batch of funds collected as donations by SharmRelief.com to Pray4Peace.org's special account with the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC). The ERC will handle the distribution with our supervision and has agreed not to subtract any maintenance and upkeep fees. We have requested of the ERC to distribute the money equally to the twenty-two families of the confirmed breadwinning victims. This will amount to approximately 1000Le each (aprox $165) and is 1/5 our total goal of 5000Le (equal to the official governmental payment).
Here is a summary of the donations collected thus far excluding donations from Egypt.
