Narrative does it again
All the overviews of the tsunami disaster are useful; I especially appreciate the BBC's map of the affected area. Most powerful for me, though, is this account of one individual's experience.
I'm trying to find out about reliable agencies to which one can donate: agencies that don't skim off 60% of the donations, and agencies that are actually organized to accomplish something. Sandra, who's pretty savvy about this stuff, says she's donating to the Red Cross. I'll go with that. Here's info from the Washington Post: Contributions should be sent to International Response Fund, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013. For more information about donating, call 800-435-7669.
