Schumacher Gives $10 Mln in Tsunami Aid

BERLIN (Reuters) - Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher is to donate $10 million to help the victims of the South Asian tsunami, his manager Willi Weber said on Tuesday.

The donation from Schumacher was announced by Weber on a German television fundraising drive that on Tuesday evening received more than 34 million euros in pledges.

"It's so unfathomable and horrible what happened to so many people," Schumacher, who turned 36 on Monday, said in comments on his Web Site. "One cannot simply blind it out. We're suffering with them."

The official death toll from the Asian tsunami on December 26 has climbed to around 150,000, with millions left homeless, hungry and threatened by disease.

Schumacher, driving for Ferrari, won his seventh F1 world title last year.

Yes I think that this is great, however I am also concerned that with all of the cash being given, this money should be used for the rebuilding of the country. Not for hotel rooms travel expences and overtime for the aid workers.
