Hi Everyone, I hope that you have taken your breakfast/lunch/ dinner/supper today. The reason I am mentioning this is, there are a lot of people in Myanmar who will run out of food in 2 days (May/7/2008 today). More than 20000 dead. Imagine children without parents. Parents losing their sons and daughters..
If you think you have some money to spare, please help donate to the disaster relief fund of the Myanmar Cyclone disaster. As long as you have a credit card, they will be able to accept your donation (a few dollars is fine). If you do not have a credit card, please see if you can find anyone who has a credit card to do it for you.
Please start by asking yourself this question. "If you donate some money to help these people out, how much poorer will you become? If you REFUSE to donate, how much richer will you become?".
Kindly, start by watching some of the videos here: http://edition. cnn.com/SPECIALS /2007/news/ myanmar.crisis/ http://edition. cnn.com/2008/ WORLD/asiapcf/ 05/06/myanmar. videos/index. html (more videos)
How to donate: 1) Google set up a website here, http://www.google.com/myanmarcyclone/ to accept the donations on behalf of UNICEF and DIRECT RELIEF. (Credit Card) 2) Malaysian Red Cresent has a site here with info on how to donate (info is near the bottom of the page). The donation done through RCM is TAX EXEMPTED.. http://redcrescent.org.my/drupal/node/551 3) Donation can also be done at International Federation of Red Cross and Red Cresent's website (http://donate.ifrc.org/). Please select "Myanmar Cyclone Nargis" when asked where your contribution should go to. (Credit Card)
