Hi Mavis,
I remember reading that America was being stingy, too. That was embarrassing...
I can't say that I am one for giving large sums of money to charities that I am not personnaly involved with but my work is doing something as a group to try to raise money to send to Asia. We are having a big county-wide bake sale this Thursday. The proceeds from the bake sale will go to the victims of the tsunami. Everybody will donate a baked good to sell. I have volunteered to donate 10 dozen chocolate chip cookies for the sale.
I wish I could do more. I always feel a little wierd and more than a little embarrassed when I start thinking about how easy my life really is. Most of us have really easy and carefree lives compared to others.
Thanks for posting a resource for us to help these people. I'll have to look into it further.

I donate money, too. Organizations need more than just volunteers in order to really help people.
I'm just really selective about which charitable organizations I donate money to. There are some very good charities that mazimize and even match each donation and then there are a few duds out there.
Choose your charitable organizations wisely.
