I would like to personally thank the EoFF staff for the moment of silence. It really makes me happy to know that there is still real charity and caring in the world.

I would also like to make a special note. The Doctors Without Borders website has been getting so much traffic that the server actually crashed! To me that's a VERY good sign!

I got a little money for Xmas and I think perhaps someone who's actually in need could make better use of it than I.

What makes me happiest is that this is a foreign tragedy and yet there's a decent effort from the US to help. Now if we can just keep doing this sort of thing.....

I'm probably going to donate to Action Against Hunger and, if it doesn't bankrupt me, Doctors Without Borders, the latter of which my parents both donate heavily towards, and a cousin of my mother's works with on a regular basis. Both of these are organizations that I respect and agree with 100%, and I invite you to check out their websites.
