OMAHA, NE /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Images of Nature(R) (www.mangelsen.com) today announced they will donate $2.00 for each 2005 calendar sold in their stores and online during the month of January to UNICEF Tsunami Relief. Funds will go to helping thousands of children that are at great risk following the earthquake and tsunamis that hit coastal areas across South Asia on December 26.

UNICEF is seeking $81 million to support urgent humanitarian aid for the estimated 1.5 million affected children in South Asia, many of whom have been orphaned or separated from their families and are in critical need of basic care and support. This initial appeal will address immediate and emerging needs and will include:

- Emergency immunization to prevent fatal childhood diseases.

- Supply of clean, safe water and provision of basic sanitation.

- Special feeding for malnourished children and pregnant women.

- Care for traumatized children.

- Protection for orphans and separated children.

- Provision of education kits and rehabilitation of schools to ensure the return of children to school as soon as possible.

Updated for 2005 each calendar includes 13 months, helping you plan ahead into January 2006! A perennial favorite, the Images of Nature calendar features some of the best Mangelsen images.
