Donation

Just a quick appeal... many have donated generously to causes in support of tsunami relief. This is a very worthy cause and donation and it is great if you have made the effort. But please remember that terrible things somewhat below the scale of 150,000 dead happen quite regularly, and many of these organizations are doing good work year-round, and could really use your help when something happens that doesn't get world-wide attention. So please, if you haven't donated anything, consider donating part now and part in six months from now, when the excellent efforts of UNICEF and the Red Cross are off the nightly news, but are still making a big difference to people worldwide. If you have given something, consdier adding something extra later in the year, or even on the one-year anniversary. As much as help has been needed over the last month, it will still be needed later, when people aren't paying as much attention.
