Tsunami in the Indian Ocean
The death toll is climbing higher, some sources saying more than 50k dead.
And, that's not counting the people who are likely to succumb to the diseases that arise from bodies decaying before they can be buried, and the likely malnutrition if the difficulty of getting food and clean water to the survivors isn't overcome promptly.
My bills will still be there in a month. Some of these people won't be, without massive help from the rest of the world.
So, I'm taking some post Christmas cash and sending it to www.unicef.org and www.doctorswithoutborders.org. It makes my heart break a little bit less to do something, though I haven't completely stopped crying after reading some of the news stories yet.
Both of these organizations have proven their dedication and financial responsibility in the past. If you can send a little scratch their way, I think it will be put to good use.
If you have another organization to suggest, please feel free to add it in the comments.
