"The UK's Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) says it is 'winding down' its tsunami aid appeal, amid predictions it is set to raise £200m. The umbrella charity group has received 2.8 million donations and said the money would make a 'real difference' to the affected areas over coming years. There will be no more advertising of the appeal, but the DEC expects fund-raising events to continue." [BBC]

Well, £200 million is a fantastic response within 3 weeks of the disaster and how good to hear a charity say they have enough money to make a difference.
