Reminder
Links to donate to South Asia earthquake/tsunami relief efforts are on the right. A friend of mine who has spent more time in the affected areas than she has in the U.S. in the last few years says Doctors without Borders is the group with the lowest overhead and the most people in country at the time of the event. If you don't like them, give to another group, but please try to donate something.

I haven't researched this yet because the girlfriend and I plan to donate later this week, but maybe you know. Is there an organization that people can donate to that specifically helps orphaned kids and kids who just need to be reunited with their families?
The recent news about kids potentially being kidnapped and brought into trafficking really disturbs me. I just can't imagine how difficult it would be for a kid to believe his/her parents are gone, he/she is all alone, and then be taken and sold into something so inhumane.
The world can be so evil sometimes.

I can't say for sure since I haven't researched the issue, but I've noticed quite a few donations to UNICEF and it appears their main focus is still children.
