Burma Cyclone, Midwest Tornadoes, China Earthquake - What you can do

[vivwiley]

There have been, lately, a number of really critical natural disasters world-wide, and so I thought this would be a good time to do one of my periodic charitable giving posts. As always, I will leave this post public, and I encourage folks to add other good charities in the comments

I don't have words to describe how awesome you are.

I got a phone call from CARE the other day saying that they have someone who will match donations for the Burma cyclone disaster so whatever you give will be doubled. According to the caller, CARE already had people on the ground in Burma when the cyclone hit and could get relief aid up and running immediately.

Great to know! Thanks for the update.

Thank you for reminding me: my quarterly donation to my local food bank is overdue.

Using the stimulus money for charity is an excellent, excellent suggestion.

Thanks for the list, viv. It's just frightening how much devastation Mother Nature has caused in recent years.
