Very good idea TL. Maybe this could be moved to Board Biz, so it can be seen on all the forums?

Can i also add World-vision to this,


www.wvi.org...

There web site www.wvi.org...



World Vision offices in countries across the region are mobilising to provide help to those affected


Also look out for places where you can take items that may be needed
clothes, mats, blankets, pillows and pillowcases would be needed for the hundreds of families seeking refuge in the church. “Cups, plates, kerosene lamps, petrol lamps, soap and other kitchen utensils are needed as well, urgently

I saw a spokesperson for world vision on cbc last night, he said that the shipping costs would be more for these items, donating money would be better because he said they can get these items for less and money can also be used to further food rations ect... tis all.

The other thing you can do is take back some of your presents, get cash, and send it to a charity...

The death toll is up 100+ the devestation is great...

I'm guessing more people would rather bitch about what country isn't doing what, then open their pockets and give a little...

Sometimes it's better to have an open heart, then an opened mouth.
