Cyclone Aid
Posted in Giving Back by Eric on May 7th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Whenever a major natural disaster strikes anywhere on the globe everyone’s thoughts and prayers go to the victims and survivors. If your impulse is to do something more and you don’t have the means to travel or the time to volunteer then you can always, like BYD, send money. A little research has led me to believe that the organization best equipped, financially, politically and logistically, to quickly and efficiently get aid to remote and difficult to reach locations is Americares. While the news media are full of articles about the difficulties of sending aid to Burma/Myanmar imposed by the ruling military junta Americares already has partners in the region and people and supplies on the way. This is the first organization I look to when wanting to donate to any global humanitarian crisis.
