Tsunami Blog
The South-East Asia Tsunami and Earthquake (SEA-EAT) blog is a great resource for information on what is happening in the aftermath of the Tsunami disaster. Among other things, this blog contains information on country-specific helplines, organizations that are performing relief work, places where you can donate money, and of course information on, and pictures of the Tsunami. I encourage people to check this out.
Reuben will put together a list of agencies that are looking for volunteers and donations real soon, but for now this website contains a list of URL's and addresses that are accepting donations either online or through cheques.
On a different note, it is indeed heartening to observe the overwhelming response to the relief efforts, and a willingness to help from so many civilians in some of the affected countries; as well as the speed with which NGO's and other agencies have organized themselves to react to this tragedy. This journal entry on the Association for India's Development (AID) website is a very inspirational account on how various relief organizations are collaborating with one another to organize, plan, and handle the relief operations in Tamil Nadu, India.
