Asia Pacific Region Needs Help After Disaster
28 December 2004
My heart absolutely goes out to those in the Asia Pacific region after the large 9.0 earthquake and following tsunami. My deepest sympathies to the victims, families and communities. There have been so many lost of lives and housing. It is a huge disaster and the news reports are almost too much to watch. Currently the reported number of lives lost is at 58,000.
Please join Autodesk in assisting in the recovery efforts as so many need your help.
