Asia Natural Disaster- Ways to Help
Help those affected by this recent tragedy. WHO estimates 5 million in need of basic supplies. Please share resources on how as a community we can help those affected by the devestation caused in Asia recently. If you know other ways, please post here. Personally, I would like to take the next few months and volunteer somehow. If you know of volunteer opportunities, let me know.
This is only a small list of aid organizations I found on the web that can support the relief effort: UNICEF www.unicef.org/index3.html http://www.supportunicef.org/site/pp...LdP0G&b=276341 OXFAM https://secure.ga3.org/02/asia_earth...ce=aqt04_yahoo AmeriCares https://www.americaresfoundation.net...0Relief%20Fund UN Volunteers http://www.unv.org/index.htm Red Cross https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp Can also call tollfree- 1-800-HELP-NOW Network for Good http://www.networkforgood.org/topics...O&cmpgn=HMPCRS Was going to donate miles from 1 or 2 of my mileage programs, but am somewhat skeptical if US based airlines would actually use the miles accordingly. Might just debit/credit them off of their books possibly?? :( |
Thanks for the links
I often find the sheer number of charitable organizations from which to choose overwhelming. Your concise list helped to narrow the field. I was surprised to find that some of the charities with which I was completely unfamiliar are quite extensive and highly rated. I used a site called Charity Navigator to research them. In the end I chose to donate to Americares, which spends an impressive 99% of its budget on program services and is already actively participating in medical and relief efforts in Asia.
I plan to donate blood to the American Red Cross, as well. I don't know if that will directly impact the efforts in Asia, but it can't hurt. Thanks for this reminder. -Corinne |
