Links for donating towards tsunami disaster relief

Howdy. Here are a few links I’ve seen in other people’s journals through which you can donate to organizations helping with disaster relief after the devastating tsunami in south and southeast Asia:

• Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). They’re who I’m about to donate to. (Thanks to derien for the mention.)
• American Friends Service Committee, as recommended by bubblebabble.
• And Amazon currently have a button to donate to the American Red Cross on their front page. I personally don’t like Amazon as a company, and have very mild pricklies about the Red Cross, but I didn’t want to leave that link out.
• Edit: Wex and simonbillenness suggest Oxfam America; see their comments below. simonbillenness works for them. If I’d thought of them earlier I might have given to them instead of MSF, or split my contribution.
• Edit: keyne points to the American Institute of Philanthropy’s article “The Best Way to Assist in Providing Emergency Relief in Southeast Asia”, which lists and rates charitable organizations helping with the relief effort.

If people have links to donate to other organizations that they strongly recommend, please comment with links (and I may edit this post to include them).

The good and the bad

+ I ♥ my new snowblower! (Actually, I should say our new snowblower, since I bought it with house funds, but being the sole currently resident homeowner, I was the one who got to be all butch an’ stuff and use it for the first time today.)

− I hate it when I think I’ve left some laundry in the dryer for a few days and discover instead that I’ve left some laundry in the washer for a few days. Oops.

(Yes, I still hope to do an actual update with content soon.)
