Note the Disaster Relief Links at the top of the sidebar
Sarah got an email yesterday from her cousin who's over in India beginning work on her Master's in Public Health. The city she's in was just missed by the tsunami and her email expressed the reality of the situation more clearly than all the TV and internet stories I've seen combined.
There was a lot of helplessness in the email, too. She's there to learn how to deal effectively with exactly this type of situation but as a very new foreign student, there's not a lot she can do, even if she was allowed to do it.
Please send some money to one of the organizations I've listed or any others that you feel can help. I'm hearing more and more that Doctors Without Borders is the way to go because they have the lowest administrative costs.
