Lisa Novak and her husband, Marty Claar, took their organization, the Claar Foundation, which deals with international adoptions and orphanages, and decided to do something about the tsunami disaster. They're raising money to build at least one orphanage in Thailand and another in Sri Lanka. They understand the process will take six months to a year, so in the meantime they are working on getting the kids back to school. The Claar Foundation plans on sending school supplies and lining up teachers to help get the children back into a normal routine. To learn more, go to Claar Foundation.org.
