Hello, Guest Blogger RightWingDuck here.
I know by now you have heard of the tidal wave and the tremendous devastation it has caused. Personally, an attorney that did consulting with my company has gone missing in Thailand. We have heard nothing at this point but are praying for him and his family.
The Command Post has a great listing of Organizations who are working to provide aid to those affected.
Please drop by and give if you can.
If you can’t – then just pray. For the victims. For their families. For the relief workers who are at work trying to separate survivors, deceased, and rubble.
Good thoughts, RWD.
I have spent time in some of the devastated areas, particuarly in Phuket. One of my favorite places to stay was Kata bay, just south of Patong beach, the major tourist area. I keep thinking of all the people I met who work there, and hoping they made it out ok.
Anyone know a charity that takes Paypal donations?
Protagonist,
Head over to Scrappleface.com. One of the Church’s in his post is accepting PayPal donations, I think.
Thanks for the links guys – I have a friend who is there in Sri Lanka visitng family – no word yet from him.
Yikes! Hope you hear from him soon, Eliza.
I wouldn’t call Michael Moore “average”.
Thanks Ducky! This is why I love the blogosphere!
Thanks Tuning Spork, I hope so too – A friend sent me a link to CNN’s website where people are listing the names of loved ones they’re searching for. At least CNN is good for something.
