Annapolis, MD (PRWEB) January 24, 2005



The December 26th earthquake and tsunami that hit many parts of Asia and east Africa was the most devastating natural disaster to occur in years. More than 140,000 people lost their lives, and millions have been left homeless and in need of aid. Incoming Calls Management Institute (ICMI) today announced that it will assist in the tsunami relief efforts in South/Southeast Asia by donating a portion of profits from its Call Center Knowledge Online sales to the Telecom Industry Tsunami Relief Fund.



“We at ICMI are deeply saddened by this tragic event, which affects us all,” said Brad Cleveland, President and CEO of ICMI, Inc. “We feel fortunate to be able to join with our colleagues in the telecom industry to help provide relief to the areas most devastated by the tsunami.” ICMI will make donations to the fund based on all Call Center Knowledge Online sales from today through February 28, 2005.



The Telecom Industry Tsunami Relief Fund calls on all telecommunications companies to make donations toward its goal of $1 million USD. The fund is administered by Direct Relief International, a non-profit organization, founded in 1948, whose mission is to improve the health of people living in developing countries and those who are victims of natural disasters, war and civil unrest. Contributions can be made directly to the fund on the organizationÂ’s Web site: https://www. directrelief. org/sections/support_us/d_donate_now. html (https://www. directrelief. org/sections/support_us/d_donate_now. html)
