(CNN) -- International aid organizations are accepting donations to help victims of the powerful earthquake and resulting tsunamis that caused widespread destruction in parts of South Asia and East Africa. The groups include:
American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Inc.
Association for India's Development
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
Thanks for the posting.
I notice that 124 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn is missing. Probably goes without saying since that is the Major and Primary hub of worldwide relief?? j/k...
Thanks again for all the links.

Well, they're not an NGO any more are they!

Generous donations are great... but even if you can only give $5 or $10 it does make a difference! All of the little donations add up!
Thanks for posting this Elsewhere.
I posted a link to the cnn page in Sirona's site, not having seen this. But you post is so much better than mine because you got all the individual links on there.
Thank you...

Thanks Elsewhere bttt
I found this fascinating, I heard this on the local news and then looked it up on the Americares website:
Financial Reports
If you would like to request a copy of our latest annual report or Form 990, please email our Finance Department here or view our 2003 annual report
In fiscal year 2003, every $100 donated enabled AmeriCares to deliver $2,880 in emergency relief - everything from medicines like antibiotics and analgesics to medical supplies like bandages, syringes and nutritional supplements. With a global reach that has extended to more than 137 countries since 1982, AmeriCares has delivered more than $3.4 billion in aid.
Imagine, being able to send almost 3000 dollars worth of medicine to asia for a 100 dollar donation. Pretty incredible work that the do.
