Thanks for the links. Now how do you decide where to give? I want to make sure my donation makes maximum impact for those who need help. I don't want to fuel some so-called charity bureaucracy, kwim?

I am donating to Northwest Medical Teams. They are a local based aid group that goes all over the world in situations like this. I trust them 100% and have known people - docs and others - who have worked with them.

I also trust Mercy Corp and the International Red Cross. I don't know about the others.

The Red Cross is always good, or Catholic Charities or Doctors without Borders would be great too. I think any of these would be fine to donate to, I'm sure the money will go actually helping the people who need it, no matter where you send the money. Have a little faith in the relief organizations.

Our friends in India told us that the Red Cross has mobilized very quickly to dispense aid directly to the victims. Their international disaster relief fund is where $ for the tsunami victims is coming from - if you go to their site, you can donate directly with a credit card and specify that you want the $ to go to the international disaster relief fund. Credit card means instant funds transfer so they can use the money fast.

It's just mind - numbing to think of all the deaths & devastation ... and that more is yet to come from cholera, poor water etc.

I am going to work with mercy corp, nw medical teams and also
because some locals wont give to anything unless they feel it is Christ Centered, I am selling Gold Canyon candles and giving proceeds to them to

samaritanspurse.org

Which is the ministry of Billy Grahams son, Franklin.

I live in the bible belt and some people jsut wont help unless they feel safe in their giving. This gives me several outlets to help
