Tsunami Relief - Every cent helps
More than 50,000 lives have been lost due to the recent Tsunami in the Indian Ocean region. A lot of money and help is needed to bring the lives of thousands of affected people back to normal, so please donate whatever you can. Tsunamihelp.blogspot.com is functioning as an excellent location for information on how to donate to the various agencies involved in relief work, including the American Red Cross, AID and others. Please choose an organization and donate whatever small amount you can. Remember, even a single dollar goes a long way in this region. If you choose to donate through the Red Cross, visit their donation page and make sure that you choose the International Response Fund as the recipient.
You can also help by spreading the word about the donation options (directing people to tsunamihelp is the easiest option). Wikipedia has a regularly updated page on the Tsunami with plenty of information about the disaster too. I visited Apple's page today and was pleasantly surprised to find that their entire home page was devoted to tsunami relief organizations!
UPDATE 1:
* Google has a special page setup with a list of charities.
* Benjamin Rosenbaum has collected ratings of the charities mentioned in Google's list and on Tsunamihelp.
* You can now donate to the American Red Cross through Amazon. Nearly $3 million has been collected through Amazon so far.
